Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is reportedly on the radar of Leicester City.

Leicester City are interested in appointing Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers as their new manager, according to The Sun.

It has been reported by the British tabloid that Leicester are lining up the former Liverpool boss as an alternative to Claude Puel.

Switch feasible?

Rodgers is happy at Celtic and is a hero at Celtic Park, and it is hard to see the former Liverpool and Swansea City manager leave the Hoops for Leicester this summer.

True, Leicester are an ambitious club and are in the Premier League, but Celtic are winning league titles regularly in Scotland and are also competing in the Champions League.

Of course, anything is possible in football, especially in the summer, but it would be a massive surprise if Rodgers left Celtic for Leicester anytime soon.

Double blow to Celtic?

Interestingly, Leicester have also been linked with Patrick Roberts, who returned to his parent club Manchester City from Celtic this summer.

The 21-year-old winger played for Celtic on loan from City from January 2016 until the end of the 2017-18 campaign.

According to The Telegraph, Leicester want to sign Roberts as part of a £60 million deal which will see Riyad Mahrez join the Citizens.

Celtic boss Rodgers told The Scottish Sun last month that he would love the former Fulham winger to be part of his team next season.
