SEVEN players will leave Leicester City when their contracts expire in June, officials from the club who were relegated from the English Premier League (EPL) have said.
Youri Tielemans, Caglar Soyuncu, Daniel Amartey, Nampalys Mendy, Ryan Bertrand, Ayoze Perez and Tete will leave the club.
“The Football Club extends its thanks to all seven players for their contributions during their time with Leicester City and wishes them every success in the next stages of their respective careers,” Leicester City said in a statement.
More players are likely to follow, with the situation of Super Eagles’ Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi sure to attract Nigerian interest.
Dean Smith’s side failed to stay in the English top-flight this season and were relegated after finishing 18th.
The club added that they are still in talks with team captain Jonny Evans to extend his contract.(Reuters/NAN)
