Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers wants to improve their attacking options this summer.

Rodgers has admitted Leicester City need to sign another striker this summer after missing out on Champions League qualification this season.

He said, "We'll want to strengthen at the top end of the field. We need more of a goal threat, we need to have a bit more physicality in the team and it's also a mindset as well.

“I want to bring in one or two players who have that winning feeling, and understand it and to add that to the group of talented players we hope will continue to progress.

“It's a very exciting period ahead, but we'll go away and have a rest and get back ready for the summer with a few new additions to help the team and let's see if we can keep pushing on.

"It's not just about bringing players in. It's about bringing players in who have the right profile and having that [winning] mentality as a starting point. Maybe players who have won something or have that feeling of competing at the top end with their respective teams. That's something that will help the team.

"We're also losing players with experience so it's important to bring in experience to it as well.

"We want to bring in players that can improve the squad, we'll see what evolves over the course of the summer and if there are bids for players or what not. It's not something I've considered too much, to be honest."
