Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers believes the club is progressing — and that his star players committing to the team is proof.
The Foxes may have won the Premier League in the past decade, but they have lost most of their world-class players in previous summers.
The likes of Ben Chilwell, N'Golo Kante, Riyad Mahrez, and Danny Drinkwater opted for pastures new.
But Rodgers says the club's ability to retain their current crop is indicative of their new standing in Premier League football.
"Players have felt the need to move on and further their careers, which is fine, and that's the nature of the game," Rodgers said, per Sky Sports.
"It will always happen and some of the biggest clubs in the world will lose their players.
"You've always got to be preparing this pipeline of players going forward so if you do lose them you get the next ones coming in. That's something we are very clear on as a club.
"I just think this summer the players have been able to reflect on where we're at as a team and a club and feel they want to be a part of that, which is great news."
