Leicester City defender Christian Fuchs to move to America in 2019

Defender Christian Fuchs has revealed that he will move to America at the end of his Leicester City contract in 2019.

In his first year at the club during the 2015-16 campaign, Fuchs helped Leicester win the Premier League title, and the Austrian international has gone on to make 108 appearances for the Foxes.

However, the full-back's family is based in the United States, leaving Fuchs to look for a club in the MLS after his final year in the East Midlands.

The 32-year-old told PA: "I promised my wife I would be coming home. I also want to see my children growing up, it's good we have FaceTime because letters wouldn't work.

"It was already a big decision extending my contract one more year but it was a good thing for the family. I've enjoyed my time in Leicester, I've had the biggest success here and I love the club."

Fuchs has recently found himself out of Leicester's starting lineup, with Ben Chilwell taking his place at left-back.
