He said: "For us it's not so important to bring some superstars, it's important to bring the players that play with heart and with the soul.


"This was one of our secrets this season and for us it is important. For me it is important to have two players for each position because we have a lot competitions to do and it is important to be ready for each competition.


"The new players have to be able to play with us. I won't just accept any player. If they join us, they have to live with our family, the way we are."


The son of Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha added that the club are looking to bring in three or four players in order to boost the team ahead of next season's Champions League campaign.


He said: "I am extremely happy with the current squad we have, but next season we have so many more competitions. We have to add some players. Maybe we will add three or four.


"If we sign more it will not be down to me, but the scouts and manager. They have the sharp eyes to bring in amazing players."
