Robbie Brady set for Premier League return

Leicester City are confident the lure of Champions League football will be sufficient to beat off competition from Crystal Palace for the signing of Ireland star Robbie Brady this month.

The Norwich City wideman is in demand and the Premier League champions have revived their interest in the 24-year-old, having first made an inquiry in June without pursuing a formal bid.

The Canaries were unwilling to part with the Dubliner for less than €15m then but boss Alex Neil requires the funds to bolster their strike options for the second half of the Championship campaign. They sit ninth in the table, with the play-off their only realistic chance of making an immediate Premier League return.
