Harry Souttar makes Leicester City transfer exit confession amid Rangers links

The defender admits his current situation at the Foxes must change if he’s to keep his place with the

In order to maintain his spot in the Australian national squad, Harry Souttar acknowledges that his exile

at Leicester City “cannot continue.”

The 25-year-old former defender for Dundee United signed a £15 million contract with the Foxes in

January of last year, following Brendan Rodgers’ approval. However, under Enzo Maresca, Souttar has

lost favor at the King Power this season, appearing in just three Championship games. The massive

center back was rumored to be joining brother John at Ibrox on loan in the summer, when he would join

Rangers.

It’s unclear, though, whether Souttar features in a list of potential options for new boss Philippe

Clement. Souttar is currently away on international duty with the Socceroos and is fully focused on Asian

Cup glory in Qatar. However, the stopper confessed he’s unhappy with his current situation at club level.

“I think it would be disrespectful to the nation, my teammates, and the staff here if my mind was

elsewhere and thinking about these other things during our major tournament here. My entire focus is

on Australia.”

want to play for the national team,” is all I will say.
