Leicester coach Brendan Rodgers believes, that holding on to their star players in the summer suggests, that they share the club's ambitions.
The Foxes have consistently sold players to "bigger" clubs in recent years, while N'Golo Kante, Danny Drinkwater and Ben Chilwell have joined Chelsea, Riyad Mahrez moved to Manchester Metropolis and Harry Maguire signed for Manchester United.
A similar move for James Maddison to Arsenal has been a source of speculation, until the Gunners signed Martin Odegaard, while Harvey Barnes pledged his future to the club this week by signing a new four-year deal.

Rodgers hopes, too, that Youri Tielemans will also follow him, who won a stunning winner in May, when Leicester won the FA Cup for the first time in their history.
“Players felt the need to move further and further in their careers, which is fine and that's the nature of the game,Rodgers said. "It always happens and some of the biggest clubs in the world lose players.
"You always had to prepare a series of players, who will advance, so if you lose them, others will follow. That's the thing, in which we are completely clear as a club.
“I think, that this summer the players were able to think about it, where we are as a team and a club, and felt, that they want to be a part of it, which is great news.
"This year around James (Maddison) something happened, but the reality was like that, that it was just paper talk, gossip, because there was never an investigation, not even an offer. There was no drama.'
