Football icon Alan Smith has been discussing his former club Leicester City. The former England international expressed his wish for Leicester to return to the Premier League at the first attempt of asking. He said: “I hope Leicester can bounce back. Leicester has always been that yo-yo club historically. In recent years the club has achieved some incredible things, winning the title and FA Cup, but when I played for them, they were always up and down. Hopefully they can return to the Premier League next season.” As part of a wide-ranging interview, Smith also praised Jamie Vardy for rejecting a move to Saudi Arabia, assessed the capture of Connor Coady and Harry Winks and discussed Harvey Barnes’ future.
