The 22-year-old Angers midfielder grabbed the headlines during the World Cup where he played a starring role for Morocco.
Ounahi was at the heart of things for the North African country, who surprised many with their run to the semi-finals of the World Cup in Qatar.
His performances have led to interest from clubs across Europe with suggestions that Barcelona are interested in taking him to the Nou Camp.
But the midfielder has admirers in the Premier League as well where Leicester are interested in him.
Brendan Rodgers wants reinforcements for a team that are sitting 13th in the Premier League table.
The Leicester boss wants to bring in a new midfielder and Ounahi’s name has been checked by the club.
They have made enquiries over whether he would be keen to move to Leicester in the winter window.
Angers are aware of the rising stock of Ounahi and want around €40m before agreeing to sell him.
