Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri has made it clear he wants to keep Marcin Wasilewski.

Ranieri says defender Marcin Wasilewski is the spirit of Leicester.

"I love Was because in December we were out of the cup and he came into my dressing room and said what happens now? I said I was very clear, it is very difficult for you to play because the two big guys are playing very well," Ranieri explained.

"I said I don't know what happens now for you. You have very few chances, but he was fantastic in the training sessions. He was stronger, he was unbelievable.

"When his contract finished I asked the owners and the sporting director that I wanted Was here because he is an example for everyone. This is our spirit. Wasilewski is our spirit."
