Leicester City are prepared to go in a bidding battle with Everton in order to pursue the services of Gylfi Sigurdsson in the summer transfer window.
The Wales international had a top campaign with Swansea City during the previous campaign as his tally of nine goals and 13 assists ensured that the Swans stayed in the top flight.
The only Premier League side remaining in the UEFA Champions League this season Leicester City are set for a showdown against La Liga giants Atletico Madrid.
Ahead of the highly anticipated match former manager of the team Claudio Ranieri hinted that there were problems in the English team’s camp but refused to say anything further.
Garry Linekar remarks that if it was up to him, he would never remove Claudio Ranieri from his chair and let him work as the head coach of the Foxes till the time he wants.
Linekar points out that Leicester’s condition was the same during the 2014-15 Season. They had only just escaped the demotion back then and they are having a hard time surviving this time around as well. So, it goes on to show that they don’t have a great pool of talent like the other big teams because if they had, they would have been consistent.
Claudio Ranieri remained defiant despite a 3-0 loss against Manchester City in the latest league outing.
The defeat has put serious concerns about Leicester City’s ability to survive in the Premier league, let alone finish in the top half of the table. After winning the league title last season in incredible circumstances, Ranieri clearly made finishing in the top half of the season a priority. He was aware that regular contenders like Chelsea and Manchester City were not going to be down for too long. Hence, Leicester needed to sustain a position in the Premier League rather than aim to defend the title. Furthermore, there were the Champions League group stages to look forward to.
The 35 year old left-back Paul Konchesky joined the English League One club Gillingham on July 21 of 2016 and Konchesky has stated that one of his main objectives is to help his recently signed club in snatching a promotion spot to the English League Championship.
Konchesky believes that Gillingham has a realistic chance of being promoted as the veteran left-back said:
English Premier League defending champions Leicester City are set to play host to FC Copenhagen on Tuesday in a UEFA Champions League clash.
The King Power Stadium will be lit with stars from both European sides. The game is expected to be a competitive tie, with the hosts having won the first two Group G games. Leicester City would also accord the Champions League game a priority according to the coach Claudio Ranieri.
Former Leicester City player Paul Konchesky has backed Leicester City to improve as the season goes by. He said that it is normal that the team is finding it difficult to perform in the new season as their opponents know how they play but he thinks that the team will improve as the season goes by.
The former Leicester City defender said that Claudio Ranieri is an excellent manager and that he will surely find a way to help the team improve their performance.
Former Leicester City player Paul Konchesky has signed for Gillingham following his release from the Premier League Champions. He said that he is happy to be playing for Gillingham and that he will do everything he can to help the team win promotion.
The player did not play in the Premier League winning side as he spent the season on loan at QPR. He managed to make 34 appearances in the Championship. However, the player has plenty of Premier League experience during his time at Liverpool and Leicester City where he managed 155 games for Leicester City. He has also represented England at several occasions.
Leicester City had surprised many pundits last season when they finished the Premier League as the champion. There were not a lot of people that would have believed that a relegation candidate last season has managed to end up winning the title.
Many theories and explanations have come out on how Claudio Ranieri managed to inspire his side to success. However, no one can deny the performance of Robert Huth at the back for Leicester City.
Claudio Ranieri is set to be rewarded with a new bumper contract for getting Leicester City to the Premier League title in stunning fashion.
Against all the odds, Leicester managed to win the title and this will be a story that could go on for several decades. Ranieri incredibly came to the club only last summer when they had just avoided relegation. Nigel Pearson had managed to get them to safety, but he was sacked due to off the field issues. Leicester were staring at the prospect of yet another relegation when Ranieri came to the club.
