Leicester City: Schlupp & Amartey will NOT receive bonus for winning EPL

Leicester City players will NOT receive any bonus money for winning the Premier League, according to reports.

Terms drawn up last summer mean the Foxes could slip down to 12TH and would be in store for the same pay-out as if they were crowned champions.

Claudio Ranieri's men were expected to be scrapping it out in the relegation zone this term and so a MAXIMUM pot of £6.5million to be split between the squad was promised, according to The Daily Mail.

Leciester's stars can take comfort at least in knowing they have smashed expectations and are in store for the top payment in May.

The Foxes are top of the Prem on 53 points — five ahead of Tottenham and Arsenal and 21 clear of 12th placed Crystal Palace.

King Power chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha would have had no cause to include a title jackpot for his club, which avoided the drop by six points last time out.

A dazzling run of seven wins in nine games lifted rock-bottom Leicester to 14th place at the close of the season.
