Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers shock target for Leicester

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is a shock target for Leicester City.

The Sun says Rodgers ticks a lot of boxes with the Foxes, who have been thinking of a change amid talk of player unrest.

Rodgers has great Premier League experience and has won two successive league titles in Scotland.

He would be ideal to take Leicester closer to the top six and a European return.

Puel was backed at the end of the season despite whispers he was leaving.

But other managers, such as Rafa Benitez and Arsene Wenger, were considered — but Rodgers is more likely.

There's already been activity at the King Power Stadium, with Jonny Evans arriving from West Brom for £3.5million.
