Former Leicester City striker Iwan Roberts believes the club's ambitions have jumped with Brendan Rodgers now manager.

With Rodgers' side challenging at the top of the Premier League this season and the club also building a new training ground, fans' favourite Roberts is hugely excited about his former club's future.

He told the club's website: “If you stand still, you don't progress. You look at the last five, six or seven years. Leicester have just got better and better.

“They've signed a better quality of player to improve the squad. There's a group of players at Leicester that can take them to the next level.

"I loved playing at Filbert Street, under the lights for those night games. Belvoir Drive was probably the best training facility that I had trained at, and even that has improved immensely since I was at the club.

“Now, I've seen plans for the new training facility, and it looks amazing. It caters for every need a player could ask for and could want, but that's where clubs have to be.

“You have to compete with the very, very best in the game, and by doing that, you have to invest in infrastructure and players. That's what Leicester is aiming for."
