Leicester Transfers: 4 players the Tigers could realistically sign this summer

Though still only 27, Marland, who was born in St Lucia, boasts a wealth of experience and has already made more than 100 Premiership appearances Despite reported interest from Leicester Tigers, the speedster looked set to sign a new contrac with Sale having recovered from a significant knee injury. With no confirmation of a new deal, it's unlikely that Tigers have given up completely on their pursuit of the England wide-man.

A decade after his debut for Saracens, the 29-year-old Lion from Guildford is understood to be considering a career move to Japan, having been there last autumn for the World Cup. However, if Tigers could convince him to move to Welford Road, the lock would transform their godawful line-out and significantly bulk up their pack.

The flying Fijian has made quite the impression after his mid-season switch from Newcastle Falcons to replace Jamie Roberts but Bath boss Stuart Hooper has revealed recently that he only has a contract at The Rec until the end of the season. Bristol Bears director of rugby Pat Lam is known to be a huge fan of the 29-year-old, who would add an extra dimension to the Leicester midfield if they could sign him.

Carr stated in an interview with CoventryLive in January his desire to become a ‘Wasps legend’, but he still remains available this summer. The back-row turns 29 next month so this contract is a hugely important one for him. Could Tigers convince the resolute rucker to come to Welford Road? Time will tell.
