Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is Leicester City's top target to replace Claude Puel as head coach, according to a report.

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is reportedly Leicester City's top target to replace Claude Puel as head coach.

Puel was relieved of his duties following Saturday's 4-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

The Foxes have not won in any competition since New Year's Day and now are on the lookout for a new coach.

According to The Sun, Leicester are prepared to offer Celtic £6m to secure Rodgers this summer, with the 46-year-old identified as the Premier League club's leading target.

Rodgers, who is looking for his third consecutive treble with Celtic, still has two full seasons left to run on his contract at Celtic Park.

Leicester's first-team coaches Mike Stowell and Adam Sadler will take charge of Tuesday's Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion and it is thought that an interim manager could be appointed until the summer.
