Brendan Rodgers may summon Celtic 'raid' on ex club Leicester as Foxes midfield maestro linked

Brendan Rodgers may return to his former club Leicester City to begin his shopping spree as new found Celtic boss, if reports are to be believed - with the Northern Irishman reportedly making a move for Wilfred Ndidi.

Rodgers, who joined Leicester from Celtic in March 2019 after a solid two-and-a-half-year run at Parkhead, ended up managing some of the country's best young talents including James Maddison, Youri Tielemans, Harvey Barnes and Ndidi himself. That's just the players who were still at the club when he left; never mind those who departed such as Wesley Fofana, Ben Chilwell and even Harry Maguire.

But, with the Foxes going down this season after a horror show of a campaign, many are likely to leave. Tielemans has already joined Aston Villa with his contract running out, whilst Maddison and Barnes have been linked with Newcastle and Tottenham as they aim to keep their names in and around the England set-up. But whilst Ndidi hasn't had many links, it could well be that he moves to Celtic to join up with former boss Rodgers in a surprise move for the Hoops.
