The Manchester United midfielder played under West Ham United manager David Moyes at two different clubs, but it’s Leicester City who lead the way to sign him – according to one bookmaker.

Leicester City have been installed as early favourites for Marouane Fellaini’s signature, ahead of his old boss David Moyes at West Ham United.

Bookmaker Sky Bet has opened a market on Fellaini’s next club after reports this week claimed the Manchester United midfielder is set to leave Old Trafford this summer (Daily Mail).

With his contract expiring at the end of the campaign, Fellaini is sure to have plenty of interest. And it is Leicester (4/1) who lead the betting, with West Ham (6/1) and Everton (10/1) their closest challengers.

Leicester are being tipped to add to their options in central midfield, although they have yet to be formally credited with interest in the Belgian – to whom the Foxes’ Vicente Iborra has been likened.

And West Ham could be a decent outside bet, considering that Moyes signed Fellaini at both Everton and Manchester United.

According to the Daily Mail, however, Fellaini earns £120,000 a week at Old Trafford and intends to ‘follow the money’, with moves to China or the United States appealing to the 30-year-old.

Would Fellaini be a good addition for Leicester / West Ham?
