Five Leicester City old boys with sons playing for Premier League clubs

The sons of five former Leicester City players are currently plying their trade in the youth ranks of Premier League clubs.

Among them are some great talents with immense potential, meaning their careers could go on to match or even surpass all their fathers achieved in their successful careers.

Apologies in advance if some of these make you feel old, but below is a look at six sons of five former Foxes currently looking to earn themselves a Premier League career.

Charlie was actually born in Leicester, though his father Robbie had moved on to play for Birmingham City by then. Like his dad, he is a central midfielder who has come up through the ranks at Man United.

Robbie was at City's training ground in recent months to watch Charlie play against Leicester for United's under-23s, where the young Wales under-19 international impressed at right-back.

Savage junior made his debut for United in the Champions League in December 2021 while, in an emotional moment, his father was commentating on the match for BT Sport.

Just like the Savages, Richie Wellens' son Charlie has followed in his father's footsteps by playing central midfield for Man United. He is the same age as his first-name namesake Charlie so they have progressed through the ranks together while playing in the same position.

Wellens is out of contract this summer but a decision on his future is yet to be announced. He has already been linked with a move to Roma where he would reunite with former United boss Jose Mourinho.

Former Leicester striker and hometown hero Emile Heskey has not one but two sons playing for Manchester City.

Jaden, 16, is about to start a two-year scholarship at Man City and has already agreed a professional contract which will take effect
