Leicester may never again reach the dizzying heights they did during the 2015-2016 campaign, but there's no denying The Foxes are in a much better place overall since winning the Premier League by a stunning 10 points that season.

Last month, they secured a stunning (reported £22 million) signing from Liverpool's Champions League Round Of 16 victims Porto. 24-year old right back Ricardo Pereira has signed a lengthy five-year contract with the club, and he'll join up with old Nice boss Claude Puel in the East Midlands.

Pereira, who is quick and never shy to bomb up the wing, played 43 games for the Portuguese champions last season. He's the kind of player some probably believed would end up at a bigger Premier League team, not Puel's mid-table Leicester.
