LEICESTER CITY are interested in signing Adam Lallana on a free transfer this summer, according to reports.
The Liverpool midfielder, 31, is out of contract at the end of the season and is unlikely to be offered an extension.
And Brendan Rodgers is keen to be reunited with the England international, according to the Leicester Mercury
Rodgers signed Lallana for Liverpool from Southampton for £25million in 2014 and the pair worked together until the Northern Irishman’s sacking in October 2015.
Having being a first team regular during his first three years at Anfield, injuries and more talented replacements have seen Lallana’s game time fall away recently.
He has only managed one goal and one assist since the beginning of the 2017/18 season and they both came this term.
During the last transfer window, Rodgers was asked about the possibility of linking up with Lallana again after reports of Leicester’s interest first emerged.
The Foxes boss said: “Adam’s a fantastic player. Someone I brought into Liverpool and I’ve been aware of his talent since he was a young player at Southampton.
“He’s done brilliantly there and I’m sure he’ll be weighing up his options but for us we don’t need to speak about that now.
“We’ve spoken about transfers all January and we don’t need to talk about summer ones now but he’s a top class player.”
London trio Arsenal, Tottenham and West Ham were also said to be in the hunt for Lallana.
The 31-year-old won the Champions League with the Reds last term before adding the Uefa Super Cup and Club World Cup to his trophy cabinet.
The playmaker can start talks and even sign a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs now.
Lallana has 34 England caps, and scored all three of his international goals in autumn 2016 as he was named the Three Lions’ player of the year.
