Jamie Vardy has said he is happy at Premier League champions Leicester, and hopes the title-winning squad remain intact next season.
Aguero’s goals have put his club in the driving seat in the race to finish in the top four, as City need a draw in Sunday’s trip to Swansea City to confirm their qualification for next season’s Champions League.

Earlier on Monday, Ranieri was honoured as Italian football’s coach of the season. “It’s about making sure the players you bring in are strong of character, and can do the tasks we ask them to do when we haven’t got the ball”, Walsh, one of two assistants to manager Claudio Ranieri, said.

Leicester feted their historic championship triumph in style last weekend when world famous Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli adding special emotion by singing Nessun Dorma at the King Power stadium. “Indeed, it is when I don’t work that I get exhausted and nervous”.
“When he was here, he came close to me and said, ‘I’m feeling enormously emotional.’ Imagine this – his wife revealed to me that it was the first time she had ever seen him happy to get on a plane”.

“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.
