The return.
Former England captain Owen Farrell is being lined up for a sensational return to the Premiership following his move to France last year.
Farrell left Saracens last summer to take up a contract with French giants Racing 92 but has struggled in Paris since his arrival.
And now, according to RugbyPass, Leicester Tigers have sounded out the fly-half about a return to the English Premiership next season.
The report adds that Farrell rebuffed the initial approach but it appears the Tigers may come back with a second approach.
Racing recently parted ways with their head coach Stuart Lancaster, the former England head coach who gave Farrell his England debut, while the Tigers look set to lose Springboks fly-half Handre Pollard at the end of the season.
