Leicester want to sign two Celtic players this summer
Leicester City apparently want to sign two Celtic players this summer, in what is a very important transfer window for the Foxes.
This should improve the sentiment between clubs and fans. Excuse my sarcasm, but their probably isn’t anything worse for the Scottish Premier League side – other than Rangers winning the title – than for the King Power team to swoop for two of their best and most high profile assets.

First of all, Rodgers is said to be monitoring Callum McGregor with a view to bidding. Or as The Scottish Sun says ‘ready to try his luck with a bid’. Reports are now everywhere about the Scotland international’s possible switch to England and a reunion with his former gaffer.
From what I’ve seen of McGregor, he has certainly earned a shot at the EPL: his skill and technique is at elite level, while his midfield goal-getting could be priceless. However, the proof is in the pudding – proving yourself in the premiere league in the world won’t be easy.

And, of course, Leicester are still linked at with current Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard. That speculation will not go away. The Foxes are supposedly ‘confident’ that a £15 million offer is will be agreed imminently, as per Daily Mail.
