New manager Frank Lampard is confident the Premier League club do not need to bring in new players to taste success.
Leicester City's remarkable Premier League triumph after starting the season as 5,000-1 outsiders transcends sport and might never be repeated, according to the league's executive chairman Richard Scudamore. Leicester, who were on the brink of relegation last campaign, clinched the English league title for the first time in their 132-year history on Monday after second-placed Tottenham Hotspur drew with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Mauricio Pochettino's men trail the Foxes by seven points with two games left to play. "We've had our peaks before. This one, though, is bigger than sport. It has much more human interest in it," Scudamore told The Times. "It's a life-affirming story, which is why it's attracted more interest than you'd normally get.

Instead of hoping for a slip-up from Premier League leaders Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur must win their remaining five games to give Spurs their best chance of winning their first league title since 1961, midfielder Erik Lamela said. The 24-year-old winger has shone under manager Mauricio Pochettino this season, but his four goals and six assists might still not be enough, as second-placed Spurs are still seven points behind Claudio Ranieri's men.
