Leicester Tigers draw up a three-man shortlist to replace George Ford

Leicester Tigers are in the market for a new fly-half as they have recently let go of their talisman George Ford, who has signed a three-year contract with Sale Sharks.

According to reports, the club have identified three new number 10s who could replace Ford when he leaves the club next summer.

#1. Handre Pollard

  • Age: 27
  • Honours: South Africa, 57 caps
  • Current club: Montpellier
  • Chance of signing: 2/5

The big-money option. Pollard’s world-record contract of £1m per season at Montpellier expires this summer, and he may be tempted by a move to Welford Road if Tigers comes close to matching Ford’s current deal, which is approximately £680,000 per season.
