Rayan has agreed personal terms and will sign a five-and-a-half year contract.

Rayan has drawn comparisons back in Brazil to Endrick and Vinicius Jr.

Leicester considering Cifuentes' future

Latest from Your Site News' Rob Dorsett:

Leicester City are considering the future of manager Marti Cifuentes, following the defeat to Oxford United on Saturday. 

Some home fans at King Power Stadium chanted for Cifuentes to be "sacked in the morning" during the game. 

Owner and chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha is over from Thailand and watched the game from the directors' box. He has told Your Site News no decision has yet been taken, but he wants to talk to his senior advisers, and Cifuentes himself, before making a decision about the manager's future. 

Leicester are awaiting the outcome of an independent commission hearing on alleged PSR breaches. Were they to be given a nine-point deduction as punishment for that, they would be outside the Championship relegation places only on goal difference.
