Leicester's squad is good enough to challenge in Premier League and Champions League, insists Andy King

Leicester's summer splurge finished off by the deadline day capture of Islam Slimani has left them with a squad capable of challenging on all fronts, according to Andy King.

The Premier League champions have brought in six new players at a cost of around £70million and King believes that strengthening means they can mount a title defence and make a mark in the Champions League.

Leicester have also committed a number of existing players to longer and better deals, the latest being Danny Simpson, who has signed a new £50,000 per week contract to 2019.
