It’s not been reported who Leicester City or any of the other clubs will be casting an eye on, but the former Premier League champions know Brugge well from their encounters last season.

Leicester City were drawn against the Jupiler side in the group stage of the Champions League, and it’s possible a player may have caught their eye during the two games.
