Leicester City have identified Graham Potter as their top target to replace Steve Cooper, although the manager’s wage demands may see them turn to a list that also includes Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Leicester City have sacked Steve Cooper and could replace him with Graham Potter or Ruud van Nistelrooy. The Foxes decided to pull the trigger on Cooper on Sunday following a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea . Leicester struggled to create much going forward against the Blues and Jordan Ayew's stoppage-time goal was a case of too little too late.

Steve Cooper's Leicester reign is over after just 12 Premier League games, with Graham Potter and Ruud van Nistelrooy early contenders to replace him.
