Bolasie is a £20million target from Crystal Palace and will add competition on the flanks.

The 26-year-old has his heart set on move to one of the traditional big English teams — but Ranieri could persuade him after the amazing season at the King Power.

And Deeney, 27, has long-term admirers within the new champions after getting Watford promoted and keeping them in the top flight.

Arsenal were weighing up a move for him earlier in the season after hitting the goal trail and would also cost at least £20million.

Deeney will also need persuading to leave his club as he is settled in the area and is a big presence in the dressing room.
