Steve Cooper will now be eyeing up various different signings to make having arrived in the Leicester City hot seat, to ensure the Foxes don’t immediately slip back down to the Championship.
The mastermind in the dug-out behind this success is gone now, however, with Enzo Maresca leaving for the allure of Chelsea after promotion was sealed, as Cooper now has a point to prove at the King Power Stadium, after leaving Nottingham Forest on sour terms in the Premier League.
Whether the Welshman is a success or not could rest on the incomings that Leicester are able to attract this summer, not wanting to rip apart the synergy of the squad from last season, but just adding in sprinkles of quality that can help make the East Midlands side an established top-flight team again.
Here is what next campaign’s dream Leicester team could look like, therefore, with a face that has played under Cooper previously lined up to join the Foxes, amongst other notable deals…
GK – Mads Hermansen
RB – Ricardo Pereira
CB – Joe Rodon
CB – Jannick Vestergaard
LB – Wout Faes
CM – Harry Winks
CM – Sean Longstaff
CM – Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall
RW – Abdul Fatawu
ST – Tammy Abraham
LW – Stephy Mavididi
Lastly, the left wing spot looks likely to be filled by Stephy Mavididi for Cooper’s men in the Premier League, who – alongside Vardy and Fatawu – wreaked havoc onto Championship defences along the way to the title being held aloft.
The former Arsenal youth player registered 13 goals and six assists across all competitions, playing a huge role in Leicester’s promotion success story as a result.
