Leicester warned by Heskey of heads turning amid Chelsea’s links to Chilwell

Emile Heskey accepts that heads may be turned at Leicester following the club’s failure to secure Champions League qualification, with Ben Chilwell among those generating exit talk.

The Foxes returned from lockdown third in the Premier League table, but an untimely wobble from Brendan Rodgers’ side saw them head into the final day needing a positive result against Manchester United in order to finish in the top four.

They ended up losing 2-0 at the King Power Stadium and will now have to make do with Thursday night football in the Europa League next season.
