Leicester City could be eyeing move for dangerous Blackpool star Jerry Yates

According to reports, Leicester City and Rangers are both interested in Blackpool attacker Jerry Yates.

A bid had been lodged for Leicester City and Rangers target Jerry Yates, according to reports.

It isn't clear if the Foxes are the side to have submitted the bid, but the rumour states there's an offer of around £2.5 million on the table.

Rangers have been regularly linked with Yates in previous seasons with Steven Gerrard supposedly admiring the player.

The Blackpool forward has a wealth of Football League experience, featuring 255 times for Carlisle, Swindon, Rotherham and Blackpool.

He registered 14 goals and four assists as the Tangerines were relegated from the Championship last season.

Leicester might be in need of reinforcements if the summer transfer window decimates their current front line.

The future of 36-year-old Jamie Vardy is undecided while Kelechi Iheanacho and Patson Daka could be hoping to remain in the Premier League.
