Foxes find cheaper alternative to Adrien

Nov 16 -- Leicester and Everton are among four Premier League clubs monitoring Braga B starlet Xeka, according to reports.

Portuguese newspaper A Bola claim the Foxes have turned their attention to the 22-year-old midfielder as a much cheaper option to their summer target Adrien Silva, who Sporting refused to sell for over £20million.

Middlesbrough, Stoke City and Everton are all said to have watched him recently but A Bola claim Leicester are at the front of the queue.

Xeka's current contract is up at the end of the next season and Braga are keen to secure him on new terms as quickly as possible.

His full name is Miguel Angelo da Silva Rocha.
