Brendan Rodgers should consider bringing Stuart Armstrong to Leicester.
Brendan Rodgers is going to have money to spend this summer to forge the Leicester City side he wants.
One option he should consider is reuniting with his former Celtic talent Stuart Armstrong.
Celtic sold Armstrong last summer to Southampton, and Leicester should weigh up making a move.
Armstrong’s performances for the Saints have been mixed, but he has shown signs of adapting to the Premier League, netting three goals for the club.
Rodgers knows how to get the best out of him, having made Armstrong a key part of his side at Celtic in his first year in charge, in which he scored 17 goals.
Leicester must be alert to the possibility of one of the division’s big guns swooping in for James Maddison.
Armstrong would be an ideal understudy, and replacement if he is sold.
Southampton would not part ways easily with Armstrong, having only signed him a year ago, but for the right fee, it’s possible they could sell a player who has only started 13 league games.
Leicester would have to pay over the odds to sign the 26-year-old. His history with Rodgers suggests it is a deal worth pursuing.
