The Colombian is well-known for his poor disciplinary record but he has made improvements this season with only two red cards after picking up five last season.

The Foxes are looking for a long-term replacement for Jamie Vardy while West Ham also want a new forward to partner Sebastien Haller.

Brendan Rodgers is also thought to be looking at Lille striker Victor Osimhen.

The Hammers have also been linked with ex-Sunderland forward Josh Maja who is currently plying his trade at Bordeaux.
