But Leicester’s promotion charge has not come as a surprise to many, due to the quality of their squad.
Many of these players that Leicester have, have been regulars for them in the top flight for the last few years, up until their relegation last season.
Despite them staying, there have been plenty of rumours of some of these players leaving regardless of promotion, like Kelechi Iheanacho.
The Nigerian striker had been heavily linked with a move away in January and last summer, and is likely to leave on a free transfer regardless of if Leicester are promoted.
This is more than likely due to his high wages, and the fact he is not Leicester’s current first choice striker.
But who else could join him?
Here we take a look at two players that could follow Iheanacho out of Leicester in the summer.
Wilfred Ndidi
Ndidi has been at Leicester for over seven years, after joining from Genk in Belgium for £17 million back in January 2017.
The Nigeria international has gone on to make over 250 appearances for the club, and played a key part in Leicester’s FA Cup win in 2021.
The 27-year-old had been a regular for the Foxes this campaign until he suffered a severe muscle injury, which has kept him out of the squad for the entirety of 2024 so far.
His contract is up at the end of the season, and with reported interest from the likes of Barcelona last summer and in January, big clubs will come sniffing once again.
