Matt Collins, Headteacher at Holyrood Academy said: “Many congratulations to Ben and everyone at Leicester City Football Club on their stellar success becoming Premier League Champions from everyone at Holyrood Academy”.
The 25-year-old’s form has seen linked with some of Europe’s biggest clubs, but the Frenchman is excited about playing in the Champions League with Leicester.
Three words… AMAZING, DREAM and REALITY, that is how Claudio Ranieri summed up Leicester City’s incredible fairy-tale-of-a season. He added: “I was in Russian Federation on the Sunday, Rome on the Wednesday and then I was in Nice on the Friday”.
Leicester’s squad’s official bonus scheme has earned them £6.5m, to be divided, as reward for finishing the season above 12th as agreed in pre-season. I know everyone wants to be a success but he was the right guy with the plans, the right guy who said what we wanted to hear.
As Premier League champions, Leicester’s share of next season’s $7.4 billion TV deal will be sizeably more than what the duty-free billionaire first paid for the club, an amount on the whereabouts of 40 million pounds.
“I have to talk to all of the scouts when they give me the lists”.
Ranieri said: “We’re looking at players in Italy”.
“Normally I’d spend my time at home on my own and I would send others to speak in my place, but I’m at ease when I’m under pressure”, he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Vardy has been one of the key figures in Leicester’s remarkable rise, scoring 24 league goals this season with one game remaining. The hunger will still be there [next season] and we want to keep that mentality of winning. “They will need to do their homework and we will do our homework on them”. “We’ll be back on that training field this week to hopefully put in a performance on Sunday that gets us another win”.

Under the shrewd guidance of Claudio Ranieri and aided by the individual brilliance of the likes of Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy, Leicester have made a mockery of the Premier League’s established powerhouses.
