This is Leicestershire --Leicester City fans have seen some great players grace the field at Filbert Street and King Power Stadium over the years.
The stars of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have all come to City in recent years and now it is the turn of French club AS Monaco to come to town.
Monaco have had a remarkable reversal of fortunes after slipping into Ligue 2 two years ago. In December 2011, two-thirds of the club was sold to an investment group led by Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev and, with former Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri at the helm, they quickly bounced back to the top flight last season.
But Rybolovlev has aspirations beyond simply returning a once-famous French club to the top tier of domestic football. With huge financial backing, Monaco are being tipped as Ligue 1 title challengers, and future Champions League contenders.
So far this summer, they have spent more than £200 million on talent, so here's a look at a few of them...
After an incredible 34 goals in just 40 appearances for Spanish side Atletico Madrid last season, the prolific Colombian became one of the hottest properties in world football with a host of clubs courting his signature. But it was Monaco who won the race, spending more than £50m to secure the 27-year-old's signature.
A clinical finisher, in his first three seasons in Europe he scored more than 100 goals and famously scored a hat-trick against Chelsea in the Super Cup final at Monaco's Stade Louis II Stadium. With pace and power, and the ability to score a variety of different types of goals, Falcao is hailed as one of the world's best strikers.
The 26-year-old Portuguese midfielder joined Monaco this summer from Porto in a double deal involving team-mate James Rodriguez for a combined fee of £60 million.
A classy and clever central midfielder, Moutinho won 12 major titles during his time with Sporting Lisbon and Porto, and has been capped by his country 59 times.
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder or winger also hails from Colombia and is nicknamed El Pibe (The Kid). He made his debut as a 16-year-old in Argentina and was captain of the Colombian under-20 team, leading them to a victory at the 2011 Toulon Tournament, where he was voted the best player.
He was rated 59th in the 100 Best Footballers in the World by The Guardian last year and is considered one of the hottest prospects in world football.
The French defender joined Monaco from Barcelona this summer. During his six years with the Catalan giants, he won two Champions League trophies and four La Liga titles, as well as two UEFA Super Club and two FIFA World Club Championships.
The 33-year-old has been capped 61 times by France and his career has now gone full circle as he spent two years with Monaco between 2000-02.
Abidal has now fully recovered from treatment for a tumour in his liver.
The 29-year-old French defensive midfielder signed for Monaco earlier this month after leaving Spanish side Malaga.
Capped 36 times by France, he has won the French title twice before with Lyon.
A great reader of the game and superb in possession, Toulalan is also as strong a character off the pitch and was suspended by the French FA for one international for joining a players' strike at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
The Portuguese defender is well known to City fans from his time with Chelsea and Real Madrid.
He was part of the star- studded Madrid side that visited the King Power Stadium two years ago.
Now 36, Carvalho has won national titles in Portugal, England and Spain. He won the Portuguese title three times with Porto, the Premier League three times with Chelsea and the La Liga title once with Real Madrid.
Capped 75 times by Portugal, Carvalho is regarded as one of the best defenders to have played in Europe over the last decade. Reported by This is 17 hours ago.
