Leicester City defender Daniel Amartey has been amazing for the side in their last five games in the English Premier League.
Amartey who is noted for his midfield role in recent times plays at right back for the Foxes following the injury to Danny Simpson.
But Leicester want to hand both Amartey and Simpson competition by signing Olympique Marseille right-back Bouna Sarr.
According to reports in France, the Foxes have submitted a second bid for the player.
Claude Puel's side are understood to be in the market for right-back competition for Danny Simpson and Daniel Amartey.
Before the reports in RMC Sport of the second bid emerged, Marseille manager Rudi Garcia has ruled out the possibility of Sarr being sold when both faced a press conference ahead of their 2-0 win against Strasbourg on Tuesday.
“My squad is at a minimum,” he said. “Apart from (centre-back) Doria, we do not expect any departures. Bouna Sarr, there is never any question that he leaves."
“Sarr has produced very good performances but he must not relax. He is 100 per cent Marseille and if he is to succeed, it will be in that position. He has a very good career as a right-back in front of him.”
