Riyad Mahrez and NGolo Kante will leave newly-crowned Premier League champions Leicester City this summer, predicts Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson.The two midfielders have been key players in Leicesters odds-defying title win under Claudio Ranieri this season, with Mahrez named PFA Player of the Year.However, Merson says the pair will be targeted by a number of top clubs during the transfer window and could be tempted by a move.I worry Riyad Mahrez and NGolo Kante could leave, Merson told Sky Sports.I dont see a problem with Jamie Vardy, as I dont think anyone will pay a lot of money for him at 29 years old, but the other two stars are a worry. Id be shocked if those two [Mahrez and Kante] were there next season. Paul Merson Kante will be at the Euros and his France team-mates will be going: Oh, my manager wants you. Thats how it works and hes going to have his head twisted.Id be shocked if those two were there next season. Signing of the season? Why NGolo Kante is the signing of the season after his pivotal role in Leicesters title triumph. Leicester boss Ranieri told Sky Sports on Tuesday that he is keen to keep his title-winning squad together next season but insisted he would allow unhappy players to leave in order to protect the spirit in his camp.The Italian also revealed Leicester would be looking to strengthen their squad for their Premier League defence in 2016/17, when they will also have to manage a Champions League campaign. If some players dont want to stay with us because they are unhappy to continue with us, then I dont want unhappy people. Claudio Ranieri I dont want to sell anybody but of course if some players dont want to stay with us because they are unhappy to continue with us, then I dont want unhappy people, said Ranieri. We are looking to reinforce the team but with the same mentality, because this is my mentality and this is their mentality. We all linked very well together. Whoever comes in must know we are working hard. Claudio Ranieri thinks Leicesters Premier League title run cannot be replicated Merson expects Leicesters plans for summer signings to already be well underway but suggests they would most likely lose out to the likes of Manchester City and Manchester United in a race to sign big-name players .I dont know who they can bring in, he said. Theyre going to have to use all of Ranieris experience bringing in players that other people dont know about and arent going for. How Leicester did it differently Leicesters Premier League win has been like no other. Heres how they did it their way... They arent going to get a player that Manchester City and Manchester United are trying to sign, even though theyre champions.I think their business will be done very quietly and very quickly, they wont mess about. Theyre probably doing it right now as we speak, thats how theyll have to work, theres no doubt about it.Also See:Kante: Signing of the season?Foxes to join worlds richestHow Leicester did it differentlyVOTE: Leicester in 2016/17Austin Bryant Womens Jersey .
