Eder has scored 12 of Sampdoria's 31 goals in Serie A this season.
Leicester City face competition from Inter Milan for the signing of Sampdoria forward Eder, with the Genovese club's director of sport Carlo Osti confirming the Nerazzurri are interested.
Samp are reported to have already turned down an offer from Leicester for Eder, 29, as they wait for an improved bid and competition for his signature which could push up the price.

Inter drop more points after a costly late defensive lapse

ESPN FC's Gab Marcotti discusses Roberto Mancini's comment about Inter Milan's forwards lack of goals.
Kevin Lasagna made Inter lose their appetite with a 92nd minute equaliser for Carpi. A boyhood Inter fan, his was a godsend for his team, who are now unbeaten in four matches, though they remain third from bottom. 
The 1-1 draw was the latest in a disappointing run of results for Inter this month, which have seen them slip to fourth. Roberto Mancini's team have started to give away soft goals and their lack of potency in the final third has been typified by the inconsistent form of Mauro Icardi.

Napoli urge Roberto Mancini to accept Maurizio Sarri apology

Juventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri refused to be drawn into the row over alleged homophobic comments used by Napoli head coach Mauricio Sari.

The 2-0 victory was much needed as Roberto Mancini's team have suffered in the past month losing to Lazio, Sassuolo and drawing with Atalanta.

The victory, in theory, should give the Nerazzurri the enthusiasm and the hunger to get back to being more professional when carrying out the coach's plan. The next game is…
