# Championship trio 'possible destinations' for Leicester City's Harry Souttar

Leicester City’s Harry Souttar appears to be a wanted man following his return from the World Cup with three Championship clubs claimed to be interested in signing the £15m rated defender.

The Australian international, who helped his country to the Round of 32 in North America where they were knocked out by Egypt, faces an uncertain future with the Foxes as the club adjust to life in League One.

Those interested include two of the centre-half’s former clubs, Stoke City and Sheffield United, while Hollywood funded Wrexham are also said to be keen on the experienced player.

Brazilian journalist Pablo Oliveira claims on social media platform X, where he has over 30k followers: “The 27-year-old defender Harry Souttar is set to leave the club before the team’s trip for the pre-season in Spain.

“Stoke City, Sheffield United and Wrexham are the main clubs emerging as possible destinations for the Australian player.”

Souttar moved to the Bet365 Stadium as an 18-year-old, joining from Dundee United in 2016, and going on to establish himself over a seven year period before moving to Leicester in a £15m move in 2023. During his spell at the King Power Stadium he was sent out on loan to Sheffield United in August 2024, only to be forced to return midway through the campaign due to suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Under contract until the summer of 2028, the Foxes will be looking to recoup as much of the £15 million fee they paid Stoke for him.

It's crunch time for Leicester City as they face a serious rebuilding process in League One. The transfer window is open and we will see players heading in and out of the King Power turnstiles.
