SOUTTAR’S PL DREAM MOVE NEARS AS SCOTTISH CLUB SET TO LAND $5M BOOST FROM AUSSIE’S MOVE

Harry Souttar looks increasingly likely to become the next Australian to play in the Premier League, as recent champions Leicester City have reportedly tabled a $26m bid for the towering defender, according to The Telegraph.

The Foxes have been consistently linked with the Socceroo throughout the window, but have stepped up their interest as boss Brendan Rodgers looks to continue strengthening his squad.

The latest update surrounding Souttar is a major turn in events given Potters boss Alex Neil expected the Aussie to stick around in Stoke for the rest of the season.

Although those at Stoke City may be sad to see him move, those at Dundee United, the club where Souttar began his career, will have champagne on ice.

The Daily Record claims that should Souttar’s deal to Leicester go ahead, the Tangerines will receive $5m due to a 20 per cent sell-on clause inserted into the deal that brought the Aussie to Stoke in 2016.
