It only seems like yesterday that Sir Alex Ferguson was the manager of Manchester United. He still remains to be the longest serving manager in the history of the Premier League [27 years], closely followed by Arsene Wenger who has been at Arsenal since 1996. The injection of money from endorsements and TV deals has
Status Quo has returned to the city of Leicester. No, not the 60s boogie rock band, but the traditional order of things wherein everybody’s once favorite football betting underdog is back to the end of the line when it comes to looking for the best sportsbook odds of winning the 2016-2017 England Premier League. Not
Dessert is often served for last and for Leicester City, the best was saved for last when they signed striker Islam Slimani from Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon. Albeit still speculative, the signing is believed to have cost the Premier League champions £29 million, surpassing the 16 million paid for Ahmed Musa in July, to become
Premier League spending has already reached an unprecedented £1 billion this summer. This has smashed the previous record of £870 million last season. 13 teams have broken their previous transfer record, signalling the importance of staying in the Premier league and a sign of the increased revenue available to the teams in England’s top flight.
Much like they did with Jamie Vardy, Kasper Schmeichel and Riyad Mahrez, Leicester City have offered a new long-term contract to another of last season’s title winner. Danny Drinkwater has committed his future to the Foxes by signing a new 5-year contract extension with the Premier League champions, amid rumors of a move to White
Loyalty and football haven’t been further apart than it is in today’s footballing climate. The biggest example being Fabian Delph’s move to Manchester City from Aston Villa last year. Leicester pulled off nothing short of a miracle, from coming out of a tough relegation battle to an astonishing 10 points. This could be due to
Leicester City have apparently placed a £45 million price tag for winger and Algerian international Riyad Mahrez, according to reports by BBC Sport. Intricate role in title triumph Jamie Vardy may have stolen all the headlines last season for his goal scoring capabilities, inspiring grass to grace story and not forgetting the simple fact
Chelsea have officially confirmed that they have reached a mutual agreement with Leicester City for the transfer of defensive midfielder N’Golo Kante. Although the fee remains undisclosed as both clubs are yet to release the official figures, Sky Sports sources reveal that the deal cost slightly in excess of £30 million. The 25-year old was
The battling French midfielder was one of the players of the season during the last campaign. He was one of Leicester’s most important players as they charged towards an unlikely Premier League title. The little man was so impressive he was nominated for the PFA Player Of The Season award. However, after such a great
Leicester City are in advanced talks and could seemingly confirm the signing of CSKA Moscow forward Ahmed Musa in the coming days. Reports from Moscow- according to BBC Sport- suggest that the Premier League champions are set to sign the Nigerian international for an undisclosed fee which will supposedly be a club record- more than
Barely a month has gone by since Leicester City defied all expectations to win the Premier League, but already they seem to be faced with a massive struggle to hold onto their best players. The fear might be that if one goes, several more might look to jump ship too with N’Golo Kanté certainly high
After their miraculous Premier League triumph, Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri faces something of a dilemma this summer as he gears up for the club’s title defence and debut Champions League campaign.

For all the amazing work they’ve done this season, the most invaluable goal of the season was scored by a played with no affiliation to the club whatsoever. Eden Hazard’s 83rd minute strike was all that Leicester City needed to be crowned Premier League champions for the first time in their 132-year old history. It’s
It’s been a phenomenal breakthrough season for Leicester’s Jamie Vardy as he smashed a massive goal scoring record, helped propel his team to Premier League glory and scored his first England goals. You have to go back over 20 years to the last time an unfancied side won the EPL, when Blackburn held off Man
With the 5,000/1 odds Leicester were given last summer against winning the Premier League, now widely documented as bookmaker’s face paying out enough winnings for a fan to place a down-payment on a house, perhaps the biggest indication of where this set of champions go next is found in the bookie windows. Leicester are currently
One of the main narratives running alongside Leicester’s extraordinary run to the brink of the Premier League title is the modest resources they have done it with. Christian Fuchs was a free, as was Marc Albrighton, Wes Morgan and Robert Huth have provided a rock-solid centre-half combination for a combined £4.5 million whereas Jamie Vardy,
One day you’re the cock of the wall and the next, a mere feather duster. Well for Leicester City it was the latter that came first as a day like this a year ago; they were in the full glare of relegation. But the 2015/16 Premier League season in all its glory and grandeur has

As evinced by the nervy 90 minutes at home to Newcastle United, Leicester City have finally acceded to pressure though Claudio Ranieri loves disputing the obvious. The Italian gaffer stating his side’s ambition is to play in the Europa League is nothing but a smokescreen, as everyone knows that the Foxes are pondering their maiden
Much to the dismay of Claudio Ranieri, Leicester City succumbed to the pressure of topping the most discussed football league in the planet as they looked devoid of creativity and toothless against a relegation battling Newcastle United side on Monday. However, their least-acclaimed first-teamer in Shinji Okazaki scored an incredible overhead kick to help his
Sitting atop the Premier League table, Leicester City clearly are in the driving seat in the chase for the English top-flight title this season, and the shrewd Claudio Ranieri will doubtless help the King Power Stadium club retain their new-found dominance for the years to come. Thanks to their Hollywood rise to prominence, Tottenham Hotspur’s
