“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.”

The Zambian hitman will join Brendan Rodgers’ impressive strike force alongside club legend Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho.

Daka is seen as a long-term replacement for Vardy, 34, who is the club’s fourth all-time top scorer.

And the former England international will turn 35 during the upcoming campaign, and has just two years left on his current deal.

Daka looks to be the man who will lead the line after Vardy’s exit, and he will sign a five-year deal.

The 22-year-old was left out of Zambia’s last squad, with head coach Milutin Sredojevic keen for his star man to sort out his next club move.

Sredojevic said: “Daka has to decide on his next future, and it is just fair that he can make a decision that is in the best interest of the country.”
