Anthony Knockaert denies seeing Leicester as 'stepping stone'

Anthony Knockaert insists he's happy at Leicester City.

Knockaert has hit out at claims he described Leicester City as a "springboard" for a move to a bigger club.

In an interview with Foot Mercato, conducted in French, Knockaert was quoted as referring to Leicester as "un genre de tremplin" - a kind of springboard, reports the Leicester Mercury.

The Frenchman received some pretty vitriolic criticism from a number of City fans and has taken to Twitter to respond, telling people to stop being stupid.

"..that's not what I said...they distorted everything! People are very idiot [sic]," he tweeted.
