Leicester are ready to challenge for a place in Europe next year if they keep hold of Riyad Mahrez, admits Danny Simpson after a season of change

Danny Simpson says Leicester City are ready to challenge for Europe again next season – if they keep Riyad Mahrez and boss Craig Shakespeare.

The 30-year-old defender believes now the Foxes have returned to the mentality and style of play that saw them crowned champions last season with eight wins in their last 12 Premier League games.

And the former Newcastle right back insists they can push the established elite again.

'There's no reason why we can't be Leicester (like last season) next time,' he said.
