Claude Puel: 'Leicester City focused on trying to earn Europa League place'

Leicester City boss Claude Puel says that challenging for a place in next season's Europa League will keep his side focused until the end of the season.

Leicester City boss Claude Puel has admitted that he is excited about the prospect of qualifying for next season's Europa League.

Unless Southampton win the FA Cup, seventh place in the Premier League table will be good enough to earn a place in Europe next season, and the Foxes are currently in the mix with Burnley and Everton.

Of the top six, Leicester have just Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur to play, but Puel has called on his team to keep their focus during their remaining eight fixtures.

The 56-year-old is quoted by Sky Sports News as saying: "I think it's a good thing for us, a good opportunity for us to keep the focus until the end of the season. If in October we said it was possible to make something and to play for something come the end of the season then we would have been happy.

"It is a good opportunity and an exciting challenge and it would be a good reward for the squad for all their hard work until now, but we have a difficult schedule with some tough teams to play. We must have that ambition. It is important to finish as high as possible."

Leicester are next in action when they face Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
