Morgan happy to fly under the radar at Leicester

Leicester City captain Wes Morgan says he is not bothered by missing out on plaudits.

The Foxes are the talk of the town after claiming top spot ahead of Christmas with the likes of Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy grabbing the headlines for their brilliant goalscoring form.

Centre-back Morgan and such players as Robert Huth, N'Golo Kante and Marc Albrighton have strongly contributed to Leicester's run of results but are often overlooked as the attacking pair receive the adulation.

However, the Foxes skipper insists it is not an issue whatsoever as long as the team continues performing.

"A lot of players have probably gone under the radar this year - maybe rightly because Riyad and Vards have got the goals - but we are doing our jobs quietly - and we don't mind not getting the limelight because they're scoring the goals and winning us the games," he said.

"Someone's got to get it and strikers usually do."
