Leicester are advancing plans for a new training base as they bid to take the Premier League club to another level.

The 2015-16 title winners are targeting a move into an ultra-modern facility within the next three years, with negotiations understood to be progressing well.

Leicester’s Thai owners, the Srivaddhanaprabha family, want to make another huge financial commitment by moving away from the present Belvoir Drive site to a location on the outskirts of the city.

It is believed Leicester have taken advice from both Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, who have both recently relocated into new training grounds, as they formulate plans for the move.

The location is thought to be closer to the M1, over six miles away from the King Power Stadium, and Leicester’s owners are investing a significant amount into the new centre. The new facility could top over £60million.
