Leicester City FC - 2019/20 Squad
As the 2019/20 season approaches, Leicester have one of the best squads outside the Premier League’s top six, boasting plenty of young talent around veteran striker Jamie Vardy.
Midfielder James Maddison flourished in his first season with the club, while Harry Maguire continues to impress at the heart of defence.
Leicester’s midfield is dominated by Wilfred Ndidi, who has attracted interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
Full-back duo Ben Chilwell and Ricardo Pereira were superb in 2018/19 and Rodgers will have high hopes for them next season. Youri Tielemans played for the Foxes on loan last season and could re-sign with the club in the summer window.

1. Jamie Vardy – 18 goals
2. James Maddison – 7 goals

T-4. Marc Albrighton – 3 goals

Who Owns Leicester City Football Club?
Leicester are owned by King Power International Group and have been since 2010.
Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was chairman and CEO until his tragic death in October 2018. He has since been succeeded by his son, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha.
What Are Leicester's Biggest Rivalries?
Leicester’s main rivals are fellow Midlands clubs Derby County and Nottingham Forest. Many would consider Forest as the bigger rivalry, however. Coventry City, who are only 24 miles away from the Foxes, are also rivals.
For the 2019/20 Premier League season, Leicester will not be playing any derby matches, and will have to cross their fingers and hope for a cup draw to meet Derby, Forest or Coventry.
What Are Leicester's Highest Player Salaries? How Much Is The Club Worth?
According to Spotrac, Leicester spent just shy of £80 million on player salaries last season.
Striker Jamie Vardy was on the highest wage at the club of £140,000 per week, and was closely followed by Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, who was paid £130,000 per week.
Forbes rank Leicester as the 19th most valuable football club on the planet at $500 million. Adidas signed a multi-year deal to become Leicester’s kit manufacturers starting in the 2018/19 season, replacing Puma.
Leicester City's Most Memorable Moments & Greatest Achievements
Leicester have had plenty of memorable moments, and a fair few of them came in their stunning 2015/16 Premier League season when they defied the odds to lift their first top-flight league title.
The celebratory scenes at Jamie Vardy’s house party were definitely memorable for the players, as were several victories along the way.
Vardy’s goal against Manchester United that broke the record of Premier League matches with a goal was a highlight of the season and a standout moment in Premier League history.
The Foxes’ great escape in 2014/15 set the table for the success the following year, and Nigel Pearson’s work in that campaign will forever be remembered at the club.
They have won three League Cups, and played in four FA Cup finals, but nothing comes close to the glory of 2015/16 and the Champions League run in 2016/17.
Leicester City Fan Profile
Leicester have a massive following in the city and will have earned many more with their success in 2015/16. The fans recently invented a new song in honour of former chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.
Like every Premier League club, Leicester have several famous fans, but none more so than former player and Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker.
Lineker famously presented Match of the Day in his underwear as a result of a comment he made about ‘if Leicester win the Premier League’.
King Power Stadium, Leicester
Leicester have played their home matches at the King Power Stadium since 2002. The ground was originally called The Walkers Stadium but was renamed when King Power International Group took over the club.
Prior to 2002, Leicester had played at Filbert Street, which had been their home since 1891.
Famous Leicester City Legends
Leicester has been home to some big names over the years, including England international Les Ferdinand, Gary McAllister and Peter Shilton.
None, however, come close to World Cup winning goalkeeper Gordon Banks, who made over 350 appearances for the club.
In the late 1990s, Emile Heskey and Muzzy Izzet were fan favourites and key members of the 1999/2000 League Cup winning side. The league title in 2015/16 created a whole new group of club legends from captain Wes Morgan to midfielder N’Golo Kante.
Riyad Mahrez left the club in the summer of 2018, but his importance that season cannot be overstated. And, of course, there’s the unforgettable Jamie Vardy.
