Harry Maguire hoping for long Leicester City stay

Leicester City centre-back Harry Maguire has revealed that he plans to remain at the club for the long-term following his arrival last summer.

The 24-year-old defender joined the Foxes from Hull City for £17m and has enjoyed an impressive start to life at the King Power, leading to a debut call-up for Gareth Southgate's England.

"I knew when I joined Leicester it was a big team, a big club in the Premier League," said Maguire, according to the Leicester Mercury.

"We have got a good owner who wants the club to move forward and upwards, instead of looking below us.

"I know the club is on an upward curve and, hopefully, I will be a part of that for the future."

The Foxes currently hold eighth spot in the Premier League standings after an impressive recovery under coach Claude Puel.
