Leicester eye £15m deal for Copa America star Ramon Sosa as Steve Cooper looks to secure first transfer
LEICESTER have held talks to sign Paraguayan right winger Ramon Sosa from Argentinian side Talleres.
The Foxes have been chasing the powerful 24-year-old for weeks and met his agents recently to discuss a deal for about £15million.

Sosa has featured off the bench at the Copa America and is being pushed by all parties to move to the Prem.
Talleres have had English top-flight interest and will sell for the right price.
He grabbed an assist during his recent Copa America cameo against Colombia, although his side fell to a 2-1 defeat.
The exciting star then played for 12 minutes as his team lost 4-1 to Brazil.
He has made 21 appearances at club level so far this season.
The highly-rated ace has scored seven goals, also laying on six assists.
Leicester could lose midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall imminently.
The 25-year-old had been set to join Brighton, only for Chelsea to hijack the deal.

Leicester value Dewsbury-Hall at around £35m and are under pressure to sell in order to meet Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) and avoid further breaches.
Dewsbury-Hall had his Brighton medical booked this week – after the Seagulls offered £25m plus Poland international Jakub Moder.
The deal was advanced enough for Moder to head to the Foxes’ Seagrave training ground for his own medical tests.
But Dewsbury-Hall has made a stunning U-turn in his choice to join Brighton in a bid to listen to Chelsea’s offer.
