Leicester City have approached Brighton and Hove Albion regarding a transfer move for impressive centre back Lewis Dunk. The player, who has been linked with a move to the Foxes as a potential replacement for Man Utd bound Harry Maguire, has 1 cap for England and is hopeful a transfer elsewhere will boost his own international prospects.
With Harry Maguire seemingly headed to Man Utd away from Leicester, Foxes' manager Brendan Rodgers is seeking a move for Dunk as a replacement for the England centre back.
Dunk has played over 240 times for Brighton since coming through the ranks in 2010 and is considered one of the club's best players. The 27-year-old has remained fiercely loyal to his current team but some senior players at the club admit that the player is now likely to depart.
Dunk is valued by his team in the region of £40 million.
Veteran striker Glenn Murray told reporters that he hopes Dunk will decide to stay with the team: "As far as any of our better players are concerned, they are the ones you want to keep. But football is a business as well as a sport and I think everyone has got their price.
"As far as the players are concerned, we all want Lewis to stay and lead us into another Premier League campaign."
