​Leicester captain Wes Morgan in contract talks

Leicester captain Wes Morgan is in talks to extend his time with the club.

Manager Brendan Rodgers wants to keep the 37-year-old at the club, along with fellow veteran Christian Fuchs, as he knows they provide reliable depth.

"It's ongoing," said Rodgers on contract talks for Morgan and Fuchs, via the Leicester Mercury. "Both of those players have been immense for me in the time here.

"It's not just on the pitch, it's their qualities off the pitch that are very important.

"Your senior players, it's so important you have them to drive the standard you create and set as the leader, and both of those guys have been first class with me for that.

"But of course, you want them to be able to produce on the pitch as well and if you look at Christian in the game the other day, he was first class.

"It's ongoing, the negotiations with them, and we'll see where it takes us."
