Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers insists European qualification won't affect their summer market.
Rodgers has told his players to park thoughts of next week's Europa Conference League semi-final second leg against Roma to focus on Sunday's trip to Tottenham, but a visit to north London will keep Europe on Leicester's minds after Spurs ended their Champions League hopes on the last day of last season.
“Obviously people love to play in Europe but I'm pretty sure over their history Leicester City haven't had too many issues signing players and the club has only been in Europe over the last few seasons," he said.
“It's never stopped the club signing good players before. We would love to be in Europe, but if not I still think we can attract a good level of player. It will bring us more coaching time next season and hopefully we can challenge again, so I don't think it will be a massive blow."
Leicester have invested significantly in their facilities off the pitch in recent years, most obviously in the £100million training ground that opened last year to the highest specification in Europe, meaning they have other ways of selling themselves to potential signings.
“I think firstly you're playing in the most competitive league in the world and in a team that wants to be competitive," Rodgers said when asked what would attract players.
“If you look at our recent history you can see what we've done. This season there have been lots of mitigating circumstances, but there's the chance to come here and develop as a player at arguably the world's best training facility in the world's best league.
“You're with a group of staff that wants to develop you as a football player in a real community club where you'll be looked after and taken care of.
“Any organisation is about one thing – the people and how they're treated. For me this is a club that stands alone for how it looks after players and staff and that is a real draw for players to come."
