Bamba Dieng is now available as a free agent after leaving Lorient upon the expiry of his contract earlier this week, which has alerted Leicester. Football Insider revealed in April that the Foxes are interested in the 26-year-old striker, who they feel could lead their effort for promotion.

Leicester City are interested in Bamba Dieng. However, the club's recent lower status and new EFL salary rules have reduced their chances of signing him. Due to Dieng's current prominence in scouting notes, the King Power team may fail to sign him.

According to reporter Pete O'Rourke, Leicester City are competing to sign Bamba Dieng. Bamba Dieng is available on a free transfer this summer and has scored 15 goals in 24 matches in all competitions for Lorient.

Leicester City are one of several clubs pursuing Lorient's 26-year-old Senegalese striker Bamba Dieng for a free transfer this summer. Other clubs showing interest in the player include Blackburn, Portsmouth, Oxford, and the German side St Pauli. Dieng has earned 21 caps and scored 2 goals for Senegal, and his current market value on Transfermarkt is €6.00m.
