The Foxes have sold Ben Chilwell to Chelsea for big money and are now in the market for a new left-back for their squad.
Leicester have been linked with a move for Ajax left-back Nicolas Tagliafico but he is not the only player the club are considering signing this summer.
The club have other targets in mind and it has been claimed that Monaco’s 23-year-old left-back Ballo-Toure has emerged as a real possibility.
According to French outlet Foot Mercato, Leicester have pencilled in a meeting later this week to discuss their next course of action in the pursuit of the full-back.
Brendan Rodgers likes him and the club have been keeping close tabs on his performances at Monaco over the course of the last year.
Monaco are close to signing Caio Henrique from Atletico Madrid but the Brazilian is being brought in to compete with Ballo-Toure and not to replace him.
The Ligue 1 giants are not keen to sell the player who made the left-back slot his own in the second half of last season.
Monaco are likely to demand a fee of around €20m for the Ballo-Toure if they receive a serious approach for him this summer.
