Leicester hope to appoint their new manager next week after narrowing down their shortlist following an initial period of scouting.

Former Chelsea and Brighton boss Graham Potter is admired by the Foxes, along with West Bromwich Albion boss Carlos Corberan and Steve Cooper, who left Nottingham Forest last December.

Although Potter has turned down several roles since being sacked by Chelsea more than a year ago, Leicester have not given up hope of tempting him back.

Promoted from the Championship last season at the first question, Leicester lost head coach Enzo Maresca to Chelsea and could start the season with a points deduction after being accused of breaching spending rules.

They will also likely have to sell players this month to meet profitability and sustainability regulations.

However, Leicester hope Potter will be attracted by the chance to make his mark on the club, as he did at Brighton. The club’s facilities are among the best in Europe – ideal for a figure like Potter who does his best work on the training ground.

Corberan is being closely watched by Leicester after leading Albion to the play-offs last season, but is under contract at The Hawthorns for another three years.

Cooper, meanwhile, is the No. 1 pick. 1 in Wales if he sacks Rob Page but is currently focused on getting back in charge of the club.
