AdminMarc Albrighton believes Leicester Cityâs 2016 title-winning heroes could play a key role in helping the club navigate their current relegation battle â but admits nobody has reached out.
The Foxes are desperately trying to climb out of the Championship relegation zone under new manager Gary Rowett, with a tense run-in to the season ahead.
Off the pitch, Leicester posted ÂŁ71m in losses last year, fuelling speculation that some players could be sold this summer.
Albrighton, reflecting on the struggles, says the Premier League-winning squad remains keen to assist wherever possible.
“We all say that if we could have a job at any of our former clubs, weâd choose Leicester,” he told the Daily Mail.
“We didnât all grow up supporting Leicester but we are massive fans now and we just want to help as much as possible. For whatever reason, it hasnât materialised.
“Iâm not saying weâd go in and change the world, change everything thatâs wrong with the club. But people talk about Manchester United and former players at the club who know their DNA, and I feel like thereâs something similar at Leicester. There was a culture there that Iâd never seen anywhere else.”
Albrighton was in the stands as Leicester threw away a 3-0 lead against Southampton, losing 4-3.
“I felt there was massive fear both on the pitch and in the crowd⊠The word ‘fearless’ is part of the clubâs identity and itâs important not to forget that,” he said.
