According to reports from Mirror Football, Leicester City expect to lose either Riyad Mahrez or N’Golo Kante during the summer transfer window.
Both have been integral influences on the Foxes’ unanticipated rise to the top of the Premier League table, now seven points ahead of second-place Tottenham Hotspur with just six league fixtures of the season remaining.

Mahrez, a shoo-in for this season’s Player of the Year award, has added 16 goals and eleven assists to Leicester’s cause, attracting transfer interest from Manchester United and Spurs in the process.
Kante, meanwhile, has emerged as arguably the most formidable enforcer in the Premier League, averaging the second-most tackles (4.5) and second-most interceptions (4.2) of any player in the division.
The France international has been mooted as a transfer target for Arsenal, Chelsea and the Lilywhites and recently refused to confirm whether he’ll be playing at the King Power stadium next season.
According to Mirror Football, the potential Premier League champions are already resigned to losing one during the summer transfer window – even if they claim this season’s title.
