Here are your Leicester City headlines on Thursday, May 26, 2022.

Leicester City chairman Aiyawatt ‘Top’ Srivaddhanaprabha says the club has planned their finances in anticipation of an “interesting” summer transfer window.

City and manager Brendan Rodgers are planning a refresh of the squad this summer, and while some of their deals will be funded by the sales of outgoing players, Top says the club have prepared “for a degree of player trading”. He is also anticipating big deals around Europe having a knock-on effect as City go about their business over the summer.

Writing in the final matchday programme of the season, Top said: “Options and opportunities to strengthen the squad is something our football and recruitment department are constantly looking at, not just during the summer. That may lead to some trading for us to improve the squad, which is a process I've always been happy to support for the good of the club.

The Leicester City squad are enjoying a post-season trip to Thailand before they break off for the summer.

Led by chairman Aiyawatt 'Top' Srivaddhanaprabha in his home country, Brendan Rodgers, his backroom team, and plenty of the City squad are in Thailand this week following the conclusion of the Premier League campaign at the weekend. City beat Southampton 4-1 on the final day in front of their owner to finish eighth, the highest position they have held all season.

Shortly after the conclusion of the game, City flew to Thailand and are set to be there until this Friday. They will then return to England, and while some will head off for their summer holidays, others will prepare for a busy international window at the beginning of June.
