However, the Foxes are unlikely to make that move permanent after capturing Jonny Evans from West Brom.

Now claims the Premier League trio will battle it out to bring him back to England.

Bundesliga side Leverkusen want at least £15million for the experienced defender.

West Ham are keeping a keen eye on Dragovic’s situation as Manuel Pellegrini continues to try and strengthen his newly-inherited squad at the London Stadium.

He has already strengthened his backline by smashing the Hammers’ transfer record to bring in centre-backs Issa Diop from Toulouse and Ryan Fredericks on a free from Fulham.

Dragovic is believed to be keen on remaining in the English top-flight.

And he could also have options if Marco Silva’s Everton and Chris Hughton’s Brighton firm up their interest.

The star has been capped 63 times by Austria and previously enjoyed spells with FC Basel and Dynamo Kiev.
