Harry Souttar addresses Leicester future after adding fuel to Rangers transfer rumours

Harry Souttar has opened up about his future at Leicester City with the expectation that he will move on this summer.

The centre-back has barely played for the Foxes since they paid him £15m two years ago, making 12 Premier League appearances and just three in the Championship following relegation. He had been linked with a loan move to Rangers last summer and then boss Michael Beale was open about his interest in the player, brother of current Gers man John.

The 25-year-old is likely to leave Leicester this window and sparked excitement among the Light Blues support when he was pictured wearing a retro armband while on holiday after raising a fan. Philippe Clement may need reinforcements both at center and outfield.

But Souttar admits his future is up in the air. The League winner’s boss Enzo Maresca has quit to take over at Chelsea and the defender must now wait to hold talks with his replacement.

He said: “It would be very clear if (Enzo Maresca) was still there, my situation; to try to leave the club and get more minutes because I missed a lot of football. To still be selected for the national team I know I have to play football.

“I just have to wait and see what the club does and who comes in and then try to impress the new manager that comes in. When I come back for pre-season, we’ll probably settle down in a couple of weeks. and chat and see where we are.

“I think that’s the best thing to do. Obviously, we don’t have a manager yet. So I don’t know and I can’t comment or speculate on who it will be. But I just have to give it myself is the best chance to try to impress him and the staff to come as well.
