JUST IN 🚨: Russell Martin has confirmed he wants to keep the Foxes’ fan favourite after interest from another club. Does he deserve to be part of our club?

Russell Martin has made it clear that Harry Souttar remains part of his plans at Leicester City despite growing interest from Sheffield United.

The Blades have already tested Leicester’s resolve with a couple of offers for the defender, but both approaches have been rejected as Martin looks to keep hold of the Scotland international.

Souttar has been linked with a move away from the King Power Stadium this summer, with Sheffield United understood to be keen on bringing the experienced centre-back back to the club.

However, Martin’s latest comments suggest Leicester are not prepared to allow the player to leave unless the circumstances suit everyone involved.

The Leicester boss acknowledged that offers have arrived but insisted there have been no negotiations over a potential departure, with the club’s response remaining firm.

🗣️ there’s been a couple of offers, no discussions and the answers been no. People will leave when it’s right for both parties

Martin’s stance will come as a boost to Leicester supporters, particularly with Souttar viewed as an important option in the defensive department.

The message from the manager is clear: Leicester are not actively looking to sell Souttar, and any potential move would have to make sense for both the player and the club.

For now, the defender remains firmly in Martin’s plans.
