Leicester have announced plans to expand the King Power Stadium as part of ambitious designs to improve their home.

The FA Cup holders will confirm plans next month ahead of a public consultation with the Foxes aiming to add an additional 8,000 seats to take the capacity to 40,000.

If the planning is successful, the King Power would become the 10th largest stadium among the current Premier League sides.
