Leicester fullback Christian Fuchs again declares NFL ambitions

Leicester City fullback Christian Fuchs has again declared an ambition for NFL trials once he retires.

In a Q&A with Sky Sports, Fuchs revealed he plans to put his left foot to good use once he decides to retire from football.

"I fancy it," he said. "I did some, not many people know, training three years or so ago when the NFL came to Europe, with some of their coaches.

"It was more of an assessment training and they were really pleased about it.

"Having this feedback makes me go for it even more, but again I want to play my football, our football as long as possible, as long as those bones can carry me around.

"Following my soccer academy to expand there too, I hate being a coach but I love being on the field and literally playing with our boys and girls.

"An eight-year-old gets to play with me.

"NFL yes I will try it, but not right now."
