Leicester City are in talks with Steve Cooper

Leicester City have held initial talks with former Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper according to talkSPORT.

Cooper was sacked as Forest boss in the season just ended, with Nuno coming in to eventually keep the team in the Premier League.

Despite being sacked, Cooper’s stock remains high and Leicester are eyeing him as a potential signing.

The Foxes have held initial talks over the position with the former Nottingham Forest boss.

Cooper could face competition for the role from former Chelsea manager Graham Potter, who is also being looked at by Leicester.

The Foxes would be interested in Potter as an option but may not be able to afford it.

Enzo Maresca recently quit his job as Leicester manager to become Chelsea boss and the Foxes need a new man at the helm.

Leicester will want to move quickly to appoint a new manager as they plan their life back in the Premier League after promotion.
