Leicester, West Ham to move for Man City winger Patrick Roberts

Leicester City and West Ham are ready to move for Manchester City winger Patrick Roberts.

The Daily Express says both clubs are prepared to strike a permanent deal to sign the £15million-rated England youth international when he returns to Manchester City later this month from Celtic.

Parkhead manager Brendan Rodgers hasn't closed the door on trying to get Roberts back but has admitted that scenario looks unlikely with strong English interest in Roberts.

The 21-year-old has had two loan spells and will sign off after Saturday's Hampden final against Motherwell.

Roberts has been unable to replicate last season's stunning form due to niggling injuries.
