Robbie Brady’s move to Leicester City edges closer

Champions League football beckons

The rumours won’t go away.

Robbie Brady has been heavily linked with a move to Leicester City in recent weeks. Hull City, Sunderland and West Brom are also reportedly chasing the 24-year-old, who showed brilliant form for the Republic of Ireland at Euro 2016.

Brady starred against Sweden, scored the vital winning goal against Italy and opened the scoring from the penalty spot against tournament host’s France in Nice last Sunday.

The Dubliner was part of the Norwich City team that was relegated from the Premier League last season, but few expect him to be a Championship player next season.

The Mirror linked Brady with a move to Leicester last week, and now the Sun are claiming that talks have taken place between the player and representatives of the Premier League champions, and all that remains is for a transfer fee to be agreed.

A fee in the region of £12m has been mooted, and Brady has reportedly opted for Leicester because they can offer Champions League football.
