da 888casino: Leicester continue to edge to the most unlikely title win in living memory, but this summer could bring the Foxes crashing back down to ground.
da dobrowin: Claudio Ranieri has carried on Nigel Pearson’s work and led Leicester to the position of title favourites, despite taking over a club that just about scraped away from relegation in 2014/15.
No one has really managed to explain how the Foxes have performed such an unprecedented turn around, yet it has given the squad members a chance to move their career on several notches.
The trouble with success, as Southampton found a couple of years ago, is it ups your profile. Profiles of Leicester players are now flying through the roof and we could be about to see the Foxes lose the spine of their side, hardly a reward for such an astonishing season.
The players might see this season as their breakthrough to the big time and, typically, the chance to double their wage packet.
Here we have FIVE Leicester stars would will be on their way out…
Kasper Schmeichel
Yet to quite reach the levels of his father, Kasper Schmeichel has managed to develop a career whilst constantly being referenced as the son of Peter.
Kasper, son of Peter, Schmeichel, has given some crucial performances of late and will have impressed the decision makers at Real Madrid, Manchester United and Liverpool, who will all be in the market for a goalkeeper this summer.
Jamie Vardy
Jamie Vardy has had his party and he loved it.
The controversial striker has seen his goal return dip in the second half of the campaign, as Leicester have had to rely on other areas of the team to provide their goals.
Vardy, despite his age, will be a target for many of Europe’s biggest clubs. Any goal scorer who is that prolific draws attention and Vardy’s direct running, powerful shooting and cheetah-like pace make him an ideal option in a squad.
Riyad Mahrez
Mahrez has been linked with Barcelona already this season and the playmaker will be plastered across every ‘rumour mill’ section across Europe by the time June comes around.
No players has scored and assisted as many goals as Mahrez has in this Premier League season and the midfield man will surely win player of the season if Leicester go on to win the title.
Creativity is always in demand and a midfielder who can produce over ten goals a season will gain interest from sides around Europe.
N’Golo Kante
Aptly assisted by his midfield partner, Danny Drinkwater, Ngolo Kante has dominated game after game.
The midfielder was a relative unknown when Leicester signed him last summer, but he has now seen his game compared to Claude Makelele and various other midfield icons.
Kante is a terrier out of possession and a safe pair of feet with the ball, his simple passing allows Drinkwater to spread the play and unleash Mahrez or Vardy.
Every club needs a defensive midfielder of Kante’s calibre and the biggest sides in Europe are in dire need of midfield reinforcements. Real Madrid are still without a genuine defensive midfield player, whilst Manchester United are likely to be linked with every player under the sun once more.
Jeffrey Schlupp
Schlupp hasn’t been a regular for the majority of Leicester’s campaign, but the pacey left-back is sure to be in demand this summer.
Christian Fuchs has made the left-back berth his own, yet Schlupp has become a common plan B option for the Foxes.
