Jim McArthur revealed that Leicester have been in contact with his client and expects them to follow up on their interest over the next week.
"Leicester have been in touch and I'd expect them to step it up. I've spoken with their owner Milan Mandaric over the weekend and I would like to think something could move this week.

"Derek is a top quality player," said Grant.
"He is probably the best finisher at Celtic, but the problem is what position does he play?
"I don't really know if he is a striker, a second striker or if he's best wide of a three.
"His quality is without doubt and he is a player I like, but the structure in my team is the reason I won't be going in for him."
