Celtic defender Dedryck Boyata is a target for new Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers.

The Mirror says Rodgers is set to raid previous club Celtic for central defender Boyata this summer.

The 28-year-old's contract is up at the end of the season and Rodgers is keen to take him to the King Power, where captain Wes Morgan is coming towards the end of his career at age 35 and fellow centre-half Harry Maguire is expected to be subject of transfer window interest from Big Six sides.

Boyata is seen as a good option for Rodgers as he starts to put his mark on the squad he's inheroted from the sacked Claude Puel.
