Leicester City leading the race to sign Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer

Leicester City are understood to be leading the race to sign Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer this summer, a report from 90min claims.

The Norway international was on the Foxes radar at the beginning of the year but a deal failed to materialise with the Hoops being reluctant to lose their centre-back at the midway stage of the season.

Brendan Rodgers’ side are now said to be planning a renewed approach and they are reported to be in pole position to sign the 22-year-old this summer ahead of several high-profile clubs including Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.
