LEICESTER CITY are ready to battle it out with Arsenal and Tottenham to snap up soon-to-be free agent Adam Lallana from Liverpool.
The 31-year-old is out of contract at Anfield this summer and looks certain to end his six-year stint on Merseyside.

With no sign of an extension to his current deal in the pipeline there is a queue of clubs waiting to pounce for the England international.
The Gunners, Spurs and West Ham have all been monitoring developments.
Now The Telegraph claims Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers is plotting a swoop for the man he originally took to Anfield from Southampton.
And the pair’s close relationship, the style of football played by the Foxes and the increasing likelihood of Champions League qualification makes them a top contender to land his signature in June.
Lallana is focusing on Liverpool’s title and European charge and has held no talks so far with any interested parties.
But the experienced attacker will have a long-list of options once he becomes a free agent in June.
The star is able to open negotiations and even sign a pre-contract agreement with clubs overseas now.
But he is determined to have no distractions while remaining a key part of Jurgen Klopp’s squad as they pursue glory on three fronts.
The Liverpool boss made it clear in the January transfer window that he would not allow Lallana to leave, despite the club missing out on a fee.
The midfielder enjoys a decent relationship with the German and has made 19 appearances for him this term.
But the experienced Lallana no longer wants to play back-up as he prepares to go in search of regular football elsewhere.
