According to The Daily Star, Leicester City are interested in signing Kristoffer Ajer from Celtic in the summer transfer window.

It has been reported that Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers wants to secure the services of the 21-year-old central defender as a long-term successor to Harry Maguire.

England international centre-back Maguire is leaving the Foxes for Manchester United for a world-record fee for a defender of £80 million, as reported in The Daily Star.

The report has claimed that the Foxes are planning to make a bid of £15m for Ajer, who cost Celtic £500,000 in transfer fees when he joined the Glasgow giants from Start in 2016.

Too tempting to resist?

Ajer is a very good central defence and has progressed well at Celtic, and it would be very tempting for the Hoops to cash in on him.

After all, £15m is a lot of money for Celtic, especially for a 21-year-old, and the Glasgow giants should seriously think about it.
