Leicester boss targets Arsenal defender

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers is eyeing up a move for Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney as a possible successor for the in-demand Ben Chilwell, reports 90Min. 

Chilwell has been the subject of intense interest from the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City in recent weeks, with the trio expected to make moves for a new left-back in the summer. 

The Foxes are supposedly scouring the market for a Chilwell replacement should the England international leave the King Power Stadium at the end of the season, with United's Luke Shaw also mooted with a move to Leicester. 

However, Rodgers is looking at the possibility of pursuing a move for Tierney, despite the Scottish defender only moving to the Emirates last summer. 

Tierney is currently sidelined after sustaining a dislocated shoulder having endured a dire start to life in England. 

Injuries have restricted Tierney to just four Premier League starts in his debut Premier League campaign with Gunners boss Mikel Arteta well stocked at left-back. 

And Rodgers remains a fan of the 22-year-old following their time together with Celtic and it could see Leicester make a move for the youngster in the summer.
