Leicester City have reportedly stepped up their efforts to sign Swansea City striker Joel Piroe amid rival transfer interest from East Midland neighbours Nottingham Forest.
The Reds have previously made enquiries for the 23-year-old Dutchman, who has one year left on his contract with the Swans., but also face competition from Everton and Southampton.
With a Swansea exit looking a distinct possibility for Piroe this summer, Leicester are understood to have "made contact" with the player's representatives to discuss a move, according to Wales Online. It appears City boss Enzo Maresca is keen to move ahead of competition after Serie A club Atalanta also made an approach for the player.
