Leicester defender Evans: I want to leave a legacy here

Jonny Evans is eager to win silverware with Leicester City.

Beating Southampton today and reaching the FA Cup final would be a giant step.

"Hopefully, that's what I'd like to do, to be able to achieve something with Leicester. That's the plan for the club. Always being in there, always be there knocking on the door getting to finals and really putting the club in a position where we can win things. And leave a legacy," he told the Daily Mail.

A reminder of just what a winning machine Manchester United used to be is evident when Evans is asked whether anything, in the realms of playing football, can compare to losing a final.

"I don't think I've lost a final…' he says, genuinely puzzled by the question and racking his brains to see whether he can give a better answer. 'I was on the bench for the Champions League final in Rome [which United lost to Barcelona in 2009]," he offers.

"At Leicester, we had the League Cup semi-final against Villa last year. No doubt about it, losing the final would have been worse, I can tell you that right now."
