Leicester confident of Tete deal

Leicester remain confident they can win the race for his signature despite late interest from other clubs, including Leeds, 90min understands.

90min revealed in December that Tete, who is currently on loan with Lyon from Shakhtar Donetsk, was expected to leave France in the January transfer window, with Leicester among the sides to have held talks recently.

Sources close to Leicester have informed 90min the Foxes are still positive about their chances of landing Tete, however, and they plan to push ahead regardless of this late show of interest from Leeds.
