Leicester City will reportedly receive a fee of £15million from Fulham for Timothy Castagne with the full back set to undergo a medical at Craven Cottage.
City are looking to trim their squad before Friday’s deadline day, as part of Enzo Maresca’s rebuild this summer. Castagne is one of the players expected to move on following relegation from the Premier League.
Arsenal and Juventus have been linked with an interest in the Belgium international this summer, but Fulham look to have won the race. According to Belgian journalist Sacha Tovolieri, an agreement has now been reached between City and Fulham, with the Cottagers paying a fee of £15m, including add-ons.
Castagne is said to be set to undergo a medical with the London club on Monday, before putting pen-to-paper on a four-year deal. An announcement of the transfer is ‘likely’ to come on Tuesday, three days before the deadline.
