Leicester City linked with John McGinn
Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has set his sights on a move for Aston Villa star John McGinn, according to a report from The Mirror.
The new Foxes boss has not even been in the job for a week yet but has reportedly made plans for the summer transfer window as he prepares for the future at the King Power Stadium.
Rodgers replaced Claude Puel and took charge of his first Leicester game on Sunday afternoon. The ex-Celtic boss could do little, though, as Watford clinched a late 2-1 win at Vicarage Road.
Reinforcements may be needed in the summer, and the manager is wasting no time in identifying his targets, The Mirror reports.
Aston Villa’s McGinn is a player who Rodgers reportedly admires. He attempted to sign him from Hibernian during his time at Celtic but was unsuccessful in his efforts.
The 24-year-old is a key player for Dean Smith’s side and has made 30 appearances in the Championship.
