Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha has vowed to carry on his father's legacy at Leicester City.

The football world has been in mourning after Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha after the Foxes owner tragically lost his life along with four others when his helicopter crashed on Saturday.

And in a fitting tribute to one of football's most popular owners, the 33-year-old has revealed he will continue his project at the Premier League club.

In an emotional statement on social media, he wrote: "Today, he has left me with a legacy to continue and I will do everything I can to carry on his big visions and dreams.

"From him, I have received a very big mission and legacy to pass on and I intend to do just that.

"I know that I will receive the support I need to make this happen and I am so grateful for all your messages and kind words."

Aiyawatt went on to thank everyone for the support he and the rest of his family have received following Saturday's disaster.

He added: "I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for this overwhelming support.

"What happened made me realise how important my dad was to many people all over the world and I'm touched by how many people kept him close to their hearts.

"I'm extremely proud to have such an extraordinary father. My family and I would like to thank each and everyone of you for your sincere kindness and good intentions during the most difficult time for us.

"I miss you dad, with all of my heart."
