Some Reading supporters think Liam Moore could push for a return to Leicester City after the Foxes were linked with a move for the Royals captain, alongside Wolverhampton Wanderers, Newcastle United, West Ham United, Crystal Palace and Southampton.

According to Teamtalk, Leicester are ‘considering a shock approach’ for the 27-year-old, as Wolves, Newcastle, West Ham, Palace and Southampton circle.

But Moore’s affiliation with the Foxes, for whom he made 67 appearances after rising through the club’s academy ranks, could swing it for Brendan Rodgers’ side, according to the following Reading fans.

And this Royals supporter is perhaps not the only one hoping Moore stays…

Moore, who is reported to have cost Reading around £1 million in 2016, is under contract with the Royals for another two seasons after this one.

And that, combined with Reading’s bright start to the new campaign and Leicester’s strength in depth in his position – where Jonny Evans, Caglar Soyuncu, Wesley Fofana and Wes Morgan are all competing for places – could convince the former England Under-21 international not to leave if an offer arrives from City.

Although it could be a different story if the bidding club is Wolves, Newcastle, West Ham, Crystal Palace or Southampton.
