A top club is interested in Liverpool player after turning down the opportunity to sign an unwanted Arsenal player.

Last season, 24-year-old Reiss Nelson only started one Premier League game for Arsenal. However, it seemed like there was a chance for him to make a fresh start as Leicester City showed interest in signing him. The Foxes were looking to strengthen their squad after losing their manager and star player to Chelsea. They were in talks to bring Nelson in on loan with an option to buy, but unfortunately, that deal has now fallen through.

The transfer seemed promising at first, but in the past week, it became apparent that it wasn't going to happen. According to The Athletic, Leicester has officially ended their pursuit of Nelson. It seems that the player's price tag, which is over £20million, proved to be too high for the Foxes, who are working with a tight budget due to financial rules. This has also deterred other interested clubs such as West Ham.

With their focus now turning to other targets, Leicester has set their sights on two young talents from Liverpool - Fabio Carvalho and Ben Doak. 18-year-old Carvalho has been impressive in pre-season for the Reds, and after Southampton's unsuccessful bid of £15million, it is unlikely that Leicester will be able to afford him. Doak, on the other hand, may be a more achievable option. The Scottish winger is highly-rated, but he is not expected to get much playing time this season.

In addition to their pursuit of young talent, Leicester is also looking to bolster their attack by bringing in Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana on either a permanent or loan transfer. However, The Athletic reports that they will explore other options before making a move for the 22-year-old.

As they prepare for their return to the Premier League, Leicester's first match is on August 19 against Tottenham. It seems that they will have to make do with their current squad as they continue to search for the right additions. Meanwhile, Nelson's future at Arsenal remains uncertain, as he continues to struggle for game time. We will have to wait and see where the 24-year-old's career takes him next.
