Leicester have opened up talks with Norwich City for Republic of Ireland international Robbie Brady.
The Premier League champions have expressed an interest and are set to negotiate a deal to bring him straight back to the top flight. The Leicester Mercury claim that the Foxes are in discussion with Brady's representatives.
Brady's current club, Norwich, were relegated as they bid to earn promotion from the Championship, yet he now has the opportunity to remain in the Premier League. The 24-year-old had been on international duty until his nation were knocked out by France in the Last 16 yesterday.
Though, the former Manchester United winger proved to be a big hit in the tournament scoring twice, which included his all-important header against Italy to send them through to the knockouts, as well as coolly converting a spot-kick versus France.

With two years remaining on his contract at Carrow Road, Claudio Ranieri will have to shell out in excess of £7 million if he wants to capture his target with a number of clubs also after his signature.
Leicester have been busy in the market so far after completing the signing of keeper Ron-Robert Zieler and defender Luis Hernandez while having lucrative bids for Michael Keane and Troy Deeney rejected.
They mean business.
