Leicester Still Keeping Close Tabs On Prolific Chelsea Nigerian Striker, Who Is Wanted By Swansea

Leicester City dispatched one of their trusted scouts to observe at close quarters the outstanding talents at the ongoing European U21 Championship in Poland.

Scouts In Attendance has informed that a representative of the Foxes was among the 11,672 spectators at Kolporter Arena (Kielce) on June 16 in England's goalless draw with Sweden, and also witnessed the meeting between the Young Lions and Slovakia.

Despite not registering his name on the scorecard, Chelsea striker of Nigerian descent Tammy Abraham impressed against the Scandinavians, and retained his place in the starting lineup versus Slovakia.

Leicester City were one of the Premier League clubs monitoring the situation of the 19-year-old frontman ahead of the opening of the transfer window, and spied on him in April.

The Foxes appear to have missed out on the signature of the young striker, who is likely to join Swansea City on loan at the end of the European Championship.

England face Germany in the semifinal of the U21 EURO on Tuesday, June 27.
