Leicester City's title-winning mural has been defaced by vandals.

Devious miscreants penned an obscene message over the top of former midfielder N'Golo Kante's face.

The unidentified guilty culprit wrote Kante's surname across a picture of the Frenchman's face - but changed one of the letters, replacing the 'A' in his surname with a 'U'.

Kante, 25, played a key role in Leicester's unlikely Premier League title success last season but left to join Chelsea earlier in the summer.

Danny Drinkwater thrived alongside the Frenchman, but Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri has told the England international he must adapt to life without Kante by his side this term.

"Danny has to change something because with Kante he made a very good couple," said the Italian.

"Both are a little free but they linked well because when one went forward the other covered and they swapped well.

"Now we have to restart to find the right solution. [Nampalys] Mendy is out [of today's clash with Swansea] so I want to see [Andy] King or another midfielder and what they can do."
