Rodgers wants Villa’s McGinn as one of his first Leicester signings

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers wants to make Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn one of his first signings at the King Power Stadium.

According to a report from the Daily Record, Rodgers wants to bring in McGinn after missing out on his signature during his time at Celtic.

After replacing Claude Puel recently, attention has quickly turned to the upcoming summer transfer window for Rodgers at Leicester.

McGinn, who only joined Villa recently, turned down his boyhood club Celtic in order to move to the Championship side.

The Scottish midfielder was attracting a lot of attention during his time with Hibernian and has continued to impress in England.

He has quickly become a fan favourite, known for his passing ability and desirable work rate.

Supporters will also be quick to point out his thunderous goal of the season contender against Sheffield Wednesday earlier in the season.

Keeping hold of the likes McGinn may depend on whether or not Villa are playing Premier League football next season.
