With his contract set to expire at the end of the season, the 34-year-old looks to be on his way out of the club. When he does exit the King Power Stadium, Albrighton deserves to be recognised as a Leicester legend as much as another other player in the side.
Albrighton was a key part of the title-winning Leicester side
One of the greatest achievements in football history was when Leicester lifted the Premier League trophy in 2017, having defied the odds and shocking the world.
With 5000-1 odds given for a potential title win, nobody could have expected Claudio Ranieri’s side to even avoid relegation comfortably that season, considering how they narrowly avoided going down the year prior.
However, the team clicked in a way never seen before, and the plucky underdogs simply kept winning until the end of the campaign and eventually were crowned Premier League champions.
While Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and N’Golo Kante receiving all the plaudits for that incredible title win, Albrighton also played a key role in the iconic team, with his work allowing the star players to take the credit for wonderful team effort at the King Power Stadium.
The former Aston Villa winger was played out-of-position on the left-hand side, allowing Mahrez to work his magic on the right and eventually win the PFA Player of the Year award. He played every game in the league that season, starting 34 of them while contributing two goals and seven assists in the title-winning side.
