Celtic winger James Forrest is reportedly on Leicester City’s radar.
The 27-year-old is one of the best wingers in the Scottish Premiership and took his game to another level under Rodgers when the former Liverpool manager was in charge of the Hoops.
According to The Times, Leicester want to sign the Scotland international in the summer transfer window, with the winger valued at £10 million.
Forrest’s latest comments, though, suggest that he does not plan to leave Celtic this summer, and they will come as a blow to Leicester boss Rodgers.
Forrest told The Scottish Sun: “At the start of the season I still have the hunger to go and get more success. You also want to get into the Champions League and experience those nights.”
The winger added when asked about a testimonial: “That would be unbelievable. Testimonials are unusual these days.
“You don’t see much of them any more. If you’ve been at a club like Celtic for that long, you must be doing something right.”
Staying at Celtic
Leicester are an established club in the Premier League, and under Rodgers, the Foxes can only get better as a team.
However, Celtic are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and winning trophies on a regular basis and also playing in Europe must be enough for Forrest to carry on at Celtic Park.
