The reason why Leicester may not sign Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham
Leicester City are credited with an interest in signing Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham, yet there is apparently a reason why the Foxes may not get their man.
Tammy Abraham would be a fine acquisition at King Power Stadium. I’ve said that before and I haven’t changed my mind. He is quick enough to do what Jamie Vardy does – I’m not saying definitely as fast or as well – and the skill and ability to replicate some of what Kelechi Iheanacho achieves. Not to mention the height for a potentially devastating aerial presence.
Nevertheless, Leicester won’t be extorted by the Blues for a ridiculously high transfer fee. Nor will the Foxes pay astronomical wages for an, at the moment, up-and-coming player. Though, that being said, Abraham is an international and the Blue Army wouldn’t want to see a top target get away.

However, Abraham’s salary might be the reason LCFC decline the opportunity to sign the player this summer:
"Chelsea and England striker Tammy Abraham could be stuck at Stamford Bridge unless he lowers his wage demands, TEAMtalk understands."

Whilst being praised by his on-field captain, Kasper Schmeichel, Rodgers has also had the dubious credit of being linked with the vacant poisoned chalice of Tottenham Hotspur manager.
Foxes of Leicester did not imagine for one second that the Northern Irishman would even realistically consider leaving the wonderful LCFC project that he is so much an integral part of. Especially to join a club with an impressive stadium – that is as big as their complex for not winning anything of note regularly.

When asked again about the role and Spurs’ supposed interest in him, Rodgers said he thought the Lilywhites are a “fantastic” team, but that his focus is on LCFC. In addition, the gaffer stated why he is happy with the east Midlands side: the state-of-the-art training ground, a positive relationship with the owners and players, along with the project being unfinished.
