Marland has since won 13 caps in total, claiming eight tries in total, his latest appearances coming on this summer's tour to Argentina.

Tigers winger Jonny May is expected to go the other way after a stand-off in negotiations at Welford Road because the club want to cut his salary by more than £100,000 a year.

While Leicester are still hopeful of a new deal, Sale are closely monitoring developments and are considering a move for the 29-year-old following the sudden departure of Chris Ashton.

Newcastle Falcons had been favourite to sign May, but due to Coronavirus chaos have had to pull out of negotiations which were though to be at an advanced stage.
