Brendan Rodgers eyes Celtic transfer raid as Hoops star wanted in ambitious Leicester City move

Former Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is reportedly looking at bringing Hoops midfielder Matt O'Riley to Leicester City.

The Northern Irishman left Parkhead as an invincible treble winner but his departure to the Foxes over three years ago left a sour taste in the mouth for some fans. He could now return to his ex-employers for a player and The Telegraph report that O'Riley is on his transfer radar, with Belgian midfielder Youri Tielemans linked to Arsenal.

Now a Danish youth international off the back of his Celtic form, the Fulham youth academy product joined the Hoops from League One side MK Dons in January and has made 20 appearances so far in short time at Parkhead. O'Riley would cost Leicester a significant fee given he is only six months into a four-and-a-half-year deal but Rodgers is said to be keen on signing two midfielders for his Premier League club.
