If Robbie Brady’s move to Leicester City falls through, there are a few decent backup options.
The Republic of Ireland star is in demand after his heroics at Euro 2016. Brady scored the winning goal against Italy and opened the scoring against France in the last-16 tie.
The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League champions in recent weeks, with a fee of £12m mooted, but there are other options on the table should that move fail to materialise.

Southampton are keen on Brady, according to the Mirror, and are prepared to match Leicester’s bid for the player.
Brady’s former teammate Nathan Redmond recently made the move from Norwich City to the Saints, for a fee in the region of £11m, and the Canaries are struggling to keep hold of their best players following their relegation from the Premier League.
It appears highly unlikely that Brady will be playing in the Championship next season, with Stoke City, Sunderland and Hull City also reportedly chasing the player.
However, Leicester appear in pole position to land the Dubliner.
