Leicester City are keeping an eye on Birmingham striker Che Adams – but so are more than half of the Premier League.

City were one of 12 top-flight clubs in attendance at St. Andrew’s on Saturday, the Mirror report, as Leicester-born Adams netted in a 2-1 defeat to Middlesbrough.

Now up to 13 goals for the campaign, the 22-year-old is enjoying the best scoring season of his League career and that has not gone unnoticed with Fulham, Wolves, Burnley and Huddersfield listed as interested parties.

A City bid for Adams is unlikely as things stand, despite having let him slip through their net before.

Adams played for local sides Highfield Rangers, St Andrews and Oadby Town as a junior but ended up at Coventry’s academy.

Released by the Sky Blues at 16, Adams then had a trial at Leicester, but was quickly snapped up by Ilkeston, where he first made his name.

It has been sharp rise from there and Birmingham left-back Kristian Pedersen has backed Adams to go all the way to the top.

“He makes the goals and is the difference for us at the moment,” said the Dane. “He is a top player and I’m sure he can play on a higher stage.

“So we just have to enjoy him while we can.

“I will go with 20-plus (goals). He is a very talented player. The potential he has is starting to grow to a high level.

“He is a great player and a great person also in the dressing room. I’m happy for him that he is getting this success. He deserves it.

“At the start of the season, we didn’t score many goals but he and Juke (Lukas Jutkiewicz), who is an important player also, have a great partnership. They have a great relationship and get on well.”
