Fuchs: Why would anyone leave Leicester?

Leicester City defender Christian Fuchs cannot understand speculation linking his team-mates with moves away from the club after their extraordinary Premier League triumph this season.

The success of Leicester has seen a number of players – particularly PFA player of the year Riyad Mahrez and midfielder N’Golo Kante – linked with moves to other clubs.

"We're playing Champions League football next season. Leicester City are playing Champions League football, isn’t that a good enough reason to stay at this club?" he said.

"I think all the lads know what this team is all about. So why not stay? I believe that."

"Bringing in other players is not in my hands but it's going to be a tough challenge and I think everybody should simply look forward to it," the Austria international said.

"It's going to be amazing to play in it – I played in it for three years [with Schalke] and I'm happy to be back."
