Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare determined to lead the Foxes back into Europe following their Champions League adventure

Craig Shakespeare is determined to rattle the established elite again with Leicester City this season after being backed in the transfer market to the tune of £55million.

The Leicester manager wants the former Premier League champions to punch above their weight once more and is aiming for another tilt at European qualification.

Leicester are enjoying a highly productive summer window, having signed Harry Maguire and Vicente Iborra, while a £25million deal is in place for Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho. Shakespeare would still like to add another central defender and has previously bid for Jonny Evans.

Whatever the final spend, Leicester still operate on a tighter budget than clubs that perennially challenge for the title but Shakespeare is telling those players who shook up the Premier League order to aim high again.
