Harry Souttar opens up on transfer interest after Rangers links
Harry Souttar insists his full focus is on breaking back into the Leicester squad after a summer of speculation.
The Australian international was expected to leave the Championship club in the summer after failing to secure a starting berth under Enzo Maresca.
In the run-up to the end of the summer transfer window, a probable move to Rangers was hotly speculated upon.
However, no such move occurred, as Souttar remained at Leicester.
Now, he’s spoken out about his predicament at the club, admitting it’s been “tough” with his future uncertain.
“It’s been difficult,” he stated. I believe there was a lot of news coverage regarding going on loan.
“I’m a Leicester City player.” I’m going to do everything I can to get back into the squad.
“Obviously, it’s the manager’s decision, so all I can do is work hard and try to prove to him that I can get back into the squad.”
While Souttar’s playing time at Leicester has been limited, Australia manager Graham Arnold has backed him.
Souttar played the full 2-2 tie with Mexico yesterday and even scored the first goal, with Hibs’ Martin Boyle getting the second.
He came off the bench for Leicester on the first day of the season against Coventry, but he has yet to play a competitive minute for his team this season.
