Southampton's head of recruitment Martyn Glover is a target for Leicester City.

The Foxes have been on the lookout for a new chief talent-spotter since head of senior recruitment Lee Congerton left for Serie A side Atalanta earlier this year.

They have turned their attention to Saints' vastly-experienced Glover, who has also held prominent scouting positions at Everton, Sunderland, Leeds, West Ham and Blackburn, says The Sun.

Leicester are in desperate need for some new players as rumours swirl surrounding the future of Youri Tielemans.

Brendan Rodgers has hinted at wanting new defenders due to their poor defensive record from set pieces.

It remains to be seen whether Southampton want Glover to serve out his contract.
