According to reports from The Daily Mail, Leicester City are stepping up their interest in Everton and West Ham transfer target Pione Sisto.
The 21-year-old attacker plies his trade with FC Midtjylland and after playing a pivotal role in their successful title bid last season has showcased his potential to the rest of Europe this term with a spate of strong displays in the Europa League.

Indeed, the Denmark international has netted four times in the competition this season, including goals in each leg of a knockout tie with Manchester United that saw the Danish champions eliminated last month.
Manager Slaven Bilic recently confirmed that West Ham tried to sign the Uganda-born prodigy during the summer transfer window and The Daily Mail claim the East London outfit are maintaining a watching brief. But they also document rivaled interest from Everton, Ajax, Valencia and Borussia Dortmund.
But it appears Leicester City are seriously stepping up their pursuit of the £12million-rated star with a summer transfer bid potentially on the cards. Foxes scouts watched the 5 foot 7 forward in action against Manchester United and traveled to Denmark to run the rule over him again last Thursday, as Midtjyland lost 1-0 to Copenhagen.
