Leicester players have revealed that they started an ultimately unsuccessful Whatsapp group to try an convince N'Golo Kante to stay at the club this summer.
Kante was the only high profile departure - signing for Chelsea for £30million - from the champions who defied odds of 5,000/1 to complete the most unexpected title win in Premier League history last season.
Speaking to Sky ahead of the Foxes' opening game, Leicester players Danny Simpson, Marc Albrighton and Christian Fuchs explained the lengths they went to keep the squad together.
'Obviously you want to keep the same squad and same group of players, but it's up to the individual,' conceded Simpson.
