Leicester City benefit financially from Middlesbrough's promotion?

Newly-crowned champions Leicester City will reportedly pocket an extra £1.5m from last summer's sale of David Nugent to Middlesbrough.

The striker headed for Teeside in August for a fee in the region of £2m.

However, according to Sky Sports News, the Foxes inserted a promotion clause into the deal that would see them earn an added windfall were Boro to join them in the Premier League.

Aitor Karanka's men did just that on Saturday thanks to their 1-1 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion, which sealed the Championship's second automatic promotion spot.

Nugent scored eight goals from his 40 appearances for Boro during 2015-16.
