Patson Daka confirms that he has snubbed interest from Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United to join Leicester City from Red Bull Salzburg this summer.

Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea-linked attacker Patson Daka has confirmed that he is set to join Leicester City during the summer transfer window.

The Red Bull Salzburg forward enjoyed a hugely successful 2020-21 campaign with the Austrian giants, netting 27 goals in 28 league appearances to fire Salzburg to the top-flight title.

Daka's performances understandably led to interest from Champions League-competing clubs such as United and Chelsea, but the 22-year-old has confirmed that he will snub interest from the Big Six sides to move to Leicester.

Speaking to Austrian outlet Krone Zeitung, the Zambia international said: "I will go to England and move to Leicester City.

"I had a great time here, Salzburg has become my second home. I will always be happy to come back here, but the Premier League has always been my big dream."

Leicester are reportedly preparing to cough up £25.7m for the signature of Daka - which would mark a new record departure from the Austrian Bundesliga - and he leaves Salzburg having scored 68 goals and assisted 27 more in 125 appearances since 2017.
