Smith backs Leicester to become EPL ‘force’
Former Leicester City striker Alan Smith says Claudio Ranieri’s champions can become “an established English Premier League force”. Leicester were crowned champions after nearest rivals Tottenham drew 2-2 at Chelsea on Monday, sparking wild celebrations among the title-winning players, who had congregated at top scorer Jamie Vardy’s house. The Foxes were a well-publicised 5000/1 shot to win the league before the season, having salvaged a top-flight place with a late surge in 2014-15.
