Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur are among the clubs that have shown an interest in Pescara striker Gianluca Lapadula, according to the Italian club's president.

The frontman has hit the headlines this season, having scored 22 Serie B goals.

It has resulted in links with a host of Serie A sides, including Juventus, Napoli, Chievo and Sampdoria.

However, president Daniele Sebastiani has revealed that the Premier League's top two teams are also in the running to sign the 26-year-old.

"I have followed Juventus and Napoli's interest closely, but we do not have an agreement in place with Juve," he told Itasportpress.

"Moreover, the regulations of the transfer window are clear and up until May 16, nothing can be done.

"Leicester and Tottenham have been following him and their observers have been to Pescara several time."

Lapadula joined his current employers on a free transfer from Parma last summer.
