Who is Leicester City's most important player for the new season?

While Leicester City may not have made any new signings so far this summer, all of the key players currently in their squad are fit and healthy ahead of the new campaign.

Very rarely over the past two years have City been able to field even close to their strongest line-up, but there is hope, barring no freak injuries in pre-season again, that they will be able to do so for their Premier League opener against Brentford on August 7. But with a fully-fit squad, the questions beckons: who are the important players who must be in the line-up?

Here, four LeicestershireLive reporters have picked out a player and made the case that they are most vital to City's fortunes in the upcoming campaign. You can have your say in the comments section at the bottom of the page.

There are a whole host of players who will be deemed massively important on the pitch for City next season, as this debate proves, but none will be more so both on and off the field than Jonny Evans. The Northern Irishman will turn 35 in January and his impending one-year contract extension will take him to the age of 36. It's a fair assumption to make that it could be his last contract in the Premier League.

So that makes the two seasons City have with Evans hugely important. He is a defender still at the top of his game, as evidenced by the changes in form when he was in and out of the team last season.

Next season might be his most important yet at Leicester. He will be key in leading a back-line which needs to dramatically improve its record of defending from set-pieces. His experience and ability will help with that no end.

City are targeting a young, left-sided central defender this summer, and you would have to assume that man would be a long-term partner
