Leicester City “in the mix” with Burnley and Brighton for Man City player

Leicester City set to compete for the signing of 21-year-old Man City starlet

Leicester City are in the mix for Manchester City starlet Cole Palmer this summer.

The forward has emerged as a potential transfer target for a number of clubs during the transfer window.

Speaking to GiveMeSport, journalist Ben Jacobs has identified Leicester as one of his possible next destinations.

Who is interested in Cole Palmer?

Leicester face Premier League competition for the 21-year-old City academy graduate.

Palmer featured 14 times in the Premier League last season as the team earned yet another title triumph.

The youngster contributed one assist as Pep Guardiola’s side secured a third championship crown in a row.

But now his future is up in the air, with the likes of Brighton and Burnley also weighing up a move for the attacker.

It has previously been reported by Alan Nixon that a loan move is on the cards for the Foxes, but it remains to be seen whether Man City will allow a temporary exit or if they prefer a permanent deal for the England underage international.

“I think Burnley and Brighton & Hove Albion are also there,” said Jacobs, via GiveMeSport.

“So, there is significant transfer interest, and Leicester will be in the mix there, but he will also have Premier League options.
