Areas in need of attention?
The Foxes’ introduction to Champions League football, along with the likelihood of others around them being stronger next season, means they can not afford to rest on their laurels this summer. Wholesale changes would perhaps be detrimental, but a handful of quality additions – even in areas where they are already strong – could really benefit the squad going forward. Much could depend on the futures of sought-after stars Kante and Mahrez, while new contracts for Simpson and Morgan should be deemed as high priorities.
