Ranieri 'feeling good' as he calls in Leicester winners for training today

Claudio Ranieri called all his players in for Leicester City training this morning.

Tottenham's 2-2 draw with Chelsea was enough to ensure the Foxes will finish top of the table, but their historic title win will not affect their preparations for Saturday's home game with Everton.

Ranieri was pictured arriving at the club's Belvoir Drive base, with his players following closely behind despite their late-night celebrations at Jamie Vardy's house.

"I feel good, you can imagine," Ranieri told reporters as he drove into the club's training complex. "(Last night I was) at home to watch the (Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur) match.

"I had lunch with my mother and then I come back with our plane and I arrived 7pm and 8pm I watched the match. No, not yet (I haven't spoken to the players).

"The job is good. I very, very happier now, because maybe if I won this title at the beginning of my career, now I forgot. No, now I am a very, very old man and then I can feel much better.

"The emotion was at the maximum level. I told every time I'm very happy for the fans, for the chairman, for everybody, for all the Leicester community."

Ranieri flew back into East Midlands Airport on Monday night after celebrating his mother's 96th birthday in Rome.
