Leicester City and Norwich City are reportedly in a competitive pursuit of Ukrainian midfielder Yegor Tverdokhlib, according to Football Insider. The 24-year-old has attracted attention not only from the two English clubs but also from Augsburg in Germany and Turkish side Eyupspor, all keen to secure his services before the transfer window closes.
Tverdokhlib has made a significant impact this season at Kryvbas, establishing himself as one of Europe’s standout attacking midfielders. His impressive tally of 14 goals and two assists in just 24 appearances in the Ukrainian Premier Liga has made him the league’s second-highest goalscorer, trailing only Dynamo Kyiv's Vladyslav Vanat, who boasts a market value of £17.2 million.

The prospect of acquiring Tverdokhlib at a relatively modest fee adds to his appeal for potential buyers. Both Leicester and Norwich are looking to strengthen their squads this season as they aim to improve their standings in the Championship. Leicester, having recently faced relegation from the Premier League, is eager to secure a swift return to the top tier. Meanwhile, Norwich, now under the management of Liam Manning following his departure from Bristol City, is targeting a play-off position to regain their Championship status.

Throughout his career, Tverdokhlib has remained in Ukraine, but his pivotal role last season was crucial in helping Kryvbas achieve a fifth-place finish in the league. His strong start to the current season, which includes an assist in two matches, further highlights his potential to make a significant impact at any club he joins.
With the transfer deadline approaching, both Leicester and Norwich are keen to bolster their rosters with Tverdokhlib’s talents. The next few weeks promise to be particularly intriguing for both clubs as they vie for the Ukrainian midfielder’s signature.
