Brendan Rodgers Eyeing Move for Callum Wilson as Part of £200m Leicester Squad Rebuild

Newly appointed Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers is eyeing a move for Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson, with the Foxes manager reportedly set to be backed by the club's board with a £200m transfer budget at the end of the season.

As a result of Leicester's inconsistent campaign, Rodgers has been financially backed by the board to rebuild and reshape the side, which he will look to build around English talents Harry Maguire, Ben Chilwell, James Maddison and Demarai Gray.

According to the Sun, Callum Wilson is Rodgers' number one target, with the Northern Irishman looking to add the striker - valued at £40m - to his attacking options and provide support for club talisman Jamie Vardy.
