Former Italy under-21 international, Ezequiel Schelotto, has claimed to be in talks with Leicester about a move to the King Power Stadium.
Leicester are yet to comment on the matter but there has been rumours since late August that the free agent could be on his way to play for Leicester. Former Inter manager, Ranieri, commented on the talk of the Argentinian-born speedster as "Speculation".
Seems set on a move to Leicester
Whilst speaking to the Italian Sports Paper, La Gazzetta dello Sport, he said about the proposed move, "I'd like to play there and I'm ready to get back into the action".
He also spoke about former fox Esteban Cambiasso, who was also born in Argentina and also played for Inter Milan, concluding that he could be equally as successful as the now Olympiakos man was.
Somewhat of a journeyman in recent years
The 26 year-old has been without a club since the mutual termination of his Inter contract in August. The most amount of games he's had a club was when he was at Atalanta between 2010 and 2013, making 53 appearances. Since 2013, Schelotto has been shipped out on loan three times (Sassuolo, Parma and Chievo). His first club, Cesena, was where he originally made his name, playing 46 times over two years before being sold to Atalanta for around £2million. Since these two spells, he hasn't really been able to cement a first-team place wherever he's been, playing for six different teams in the space of only five years.
The one time Italy international will be hoping that Leicester will be willing to take him on, but his footballing future still lies in the balance. With a very unsuccessful recent CV, you wouldn't imagine that Leicester would be interested in signing him but it might be a worthwhile risk, seeing as they won't have to pay any transfer fees. After announcing talks with the Foxes, it would seem that the talks are relatively advanced.
