WOW! Leicester defender De Laet to become double winner

Leicester City defender Ritchie de Laet could enjoy a unique title double this season.

The Belgian is currently on loan at Championship challengers Middlesbrough from the shock Premier League leaders.

Boro are second, just three points behind leaders Burnley with a game in hand.

De Laet, 27, has made five appearances for Aitor Karanka's side, meaning he will claim a winner's medal if they can leapfrog the Clarets by May.

But incredibly, after featuring eight times for the high-flying Foxes earlier this season, the right back will also pocket a Prem winner's medal if Leicester sensationally complete the job too.
