Leicester have announced that Marc Albrighton, Kelechi Iheanacho and Dennis Praet will leave the club as free agents this summer.

The 34-year-old played in all of Leicester’s Premier League games as the team defeated all expectations to win the title in 2016.
However, his departure means that Jamie Vardy, who has signed a new one-year contract, is the only remaining member of that winning side.
Albrighton also won the FA Cup and the league title with the club; the midfielder played in twelve games last season.
Iheanacho, who joined from Manchester City in 2017, is also leaving Leicester before next season.
The 27-year-old striker scored 61 goals in 232 appearances for the club, with five of his goals coming in the Championship last season.
He also won the FA Cup and the Second Division title with the Foxes, but he will face new challenges next season.
Midfielder Praet will also leave the King Power Stadium this summer after five years at the club.
He joined from Sampdoria in 2019, made 107 appearances and won the FA Cup and the Championship.
