Foxes chairman believes Champions will continue to rise

Leicester City vice-chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha refuses to think that the Foxes’ extraordinary title triumph was a one-off.

Aiyawatt pointed towards City’s extensive summer business that has seen them break their own transfer record three times since they lifted the Premier League crown as evidence of their ambition.

And according to Srivaddhanaprabha, this signals a bright future at the King Power Stadium.

“We have made a big reinvestment in the squad because we believe in the club’s potential for further success,” Srivaddhanaprabha said.

“Winning the Premier League was an amazing achievement, but it was never our intention to be satisfied with that. We want to keep moving the club forward, to keep striving for more. Our vision for the club has always been one of long-term success.

“That is why we have made long-term investments, not only in new signings, but also in our existing squad – keeping the special spirit that exists at Leicester City while strengthening with fresh quality.

“I’m really pleased with the business we have done. I think it shows how ambitious we are and that we’re ready to fight for more success.”
