What Leicester City need to become a Premier League top six side

In order for Leicester City football club to become a top six Premier League side they’ll need to do certain things and add to the squad depth and quality slightly. How can it be achieved?

Leicester City supporters could have been excused for low expectations under Claude Puel early in 2018/19. When compounded by the loss the beloved chairman, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, in an awful helicopter accident at King Power Stadium, the squad would have been excused if results were poor throughout.

Yet this didn’t happen. Thanks to the solidarity of the roster and a will to honour the chairman’s wishes of continued evolution and growth for the East Midlands side. In fact the potential upheaval from Puel’s exit from Filbert Way even generated positivity – with the appointment of the highly rated Brendan Rodgers.

Leicester City’s potential areas for improvement

A nationally praised, much admired youthful squad is in Rodgers’ hands – and he seems just the right man to oversee its development and improvement. Not to mention successfully man manage certain players one-to-one, with apparent ease, when necessary. With talented starlets like Ben Chilwell, James Maddison, Hamza Choudhury and Wilfred Ndidi Leicester’s horizons are particularly rosy.

Established veterans like Jamie Vardy and Jonny Evans are also complemented by the vital experience of athletes in their prime like Kasper Schmeichel, Ricardo Pereira and Harry Maguire. Giving the Foxes a marvelous foundation that needs only a few tweaks.

Obviously Leicester cannot compete financially with the ‘Big Six’ so they have to be more shrewd with regards to the targeting of exceptional players. Whilst maintaining astute fees paid. They cannot afford to be ripped off, in spite of possibly being the recipients of astronomical prices for their best team members soon.
