Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers was a big fan of Timothy Weah during his time at Parkhead with Celtic.

According to ESPN, Premier League suitors are queuing up to take Timothy Weah, after his loan spell at Celtic.

Weah was handed to Celtic by PSG in January, and the American impressed during his time in Scotland.

Although Weah only received limited game-time at Parkhead, he was always a threat in a Celtic shirt.

Premier League sides are now on the hunt for Weah, who could reportedly leave PSG in the coming months, and that could be a blow for Celtic.

Foot Mercato have suggested that Weah is a target of Celtic, as they want to bring the 19-year-old back to Glasgow.

However, with English sides in the hunt, it would hardly be a surprise if Brendan Rodgers entered the race with Leicester City.

Rodgers was the manager who got the best out of Weah during his time at Celtic, with Neil Lennon often preferring other options.

Leicester like to sign youngsters, and Weah would bring more excitement to their vibrant attacking line-up.

And if Rodgers does enter the bidding with Leicester then it could be tough for Celtic to convince Weah to return to Scotland, given the disparity of wealth between the two clubs.
