Darius Vassell insists Leicester 'can challenge for title again'

Former England striker Darius Vassell says Leicester City should be making a title challenge again.

Ex-Foxes star Vassell said City shouldn't now be content with their miracle season and instead use it to maintain their growth into a top Premier League side, which began seven years ago.

"I think can certainly challenge for the title again," Vassell told the Leicester Mercury.

"I don't know what the point of them winning it is if they are going to sit back on it and not try anymore.

"I think they have good people there and good owners. I think those owners probably have their own little battle going on with the other big owners in the league.

"I am pretty sure Leicester will be pushing for the title again soon. We have to look at the transfer market, who they are going to buy and who leaves.

"Like all the top teams, Leicester will be classed up there with the bookmakers before the start of the season."
