Struggling Leicester City have reportedly stepped up their interest in Celtic midfielder Matt O'Riley.
Brendan Rodgers ' side have plummeted to second bottom of the Premier League following a summer lacking in any serious investment. They're one of a number of clubs credited in an interest in O'Riley, who Celtic snapped up for just £1.5million from MK Dons back in January. The Daily Mail report the Foxes sent chief scout Sean St Ledger to watch the 21-year-old during last week's Champions League defeat to RB Leipzig as they prepare to step up their interest.
It's stated it's "increasingly likely" the Denmark U-21 international may have a decision to make come January as Leicester look to spend their way out of the relegation mire. O'Riley has described Parkhead as the "ideal" place for his development and although the lure of the Premier League could tempt him, Leicester's currently grim outlook could prompt caution in jumping ship from an environment in which he's thriving.
