Brendan Rodgers is believed to be keen on bringing Odsonne Edouard to Leicester.
It was Rodgers who signed Edouard for Celtic in August 2017, and the French striker has gone on to score 62 goals in 126 games for the club.
Rodgers moved to the King Power Stadium in February 2019, and it's now reported that he wants 22-year-old Edouard to join him down south.
According to the Daily Mail, Edouard is valued at £40m and Rodgers would be prepared to fund a bid for him by selling Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho.
Aston Villa are said to be among those interested in the 23-year-old, who joined Leicester from Manchester City for £25m in 2017.

Earlier this summer, former Celtic boss compared Edouard's importance to that of Henrik Larsson's during his time in Glasgow.
Speaking on BBC Sportsound's Scottish Football Podcast, Martin O'Neill said: "In my five years there we didn't have Henrik for the final year and you're always trying to make do.
"It's very important to hold on to your best players, because these are the ones that will win matches for you. They will turn the tide for you if games are even or if you're losing with 20 minutes to go.
"You know when the likes of Larsson is still on the field you still have a chance of winning that game. And that is exactly now the situation Neil (Lennon) finds himself in (with Edouard)."
Celtic begin their defence of the Scottish Premiership title this afternoon against Hamilton Accies at Celtic Park.
