    Former Rangers, Southampton and Swansea City boss Russell Martin has been strongly linked with the vacant manager's position at Leicester City.

    The 40-year-old has been interviewed by the club's hierarchy, BBC Radio Leicester reports.

    Martin won promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs with Southampton in 2023-24 but was sacked the following season after one win in 16 games left Saints bottom of the table.

    He was then fired after just 123 days in charge of Scottish Premiership giants Rangers in October 2025 with the club in eighth position after one win from their opening seven league games.

    • Foxes fans, would you be happy with Martin coming in?

    • If not, who would you prefer?

    • If Martin does join, what are your expectations for the 2026-27 League One campaign?

    Let us know your thoughts here and we will publish a selection of your responses later on.

    Leicester City defender Harry Souttar was in action at the weekend as preparations for the World Cup ramp up.

    The Australia international captained the Socceroos for 82 minutes during their 1-1 draw with Switzerland on Saturday.

    The 27-year-old missed most of the Championship season for the Foxes due to an Achilles injury but could feature for Australia once the World Cup begins on 11 June.

    The centre-back was part of the 2022 squad, which equalled their best World Cup performance by reaching the last 16.

    Australia are in Group D and will face Turkey, hosts USA and Paraguay.
