The Foxes have a Premier League look about them according to new arrival Robbie Neilson and he is determined to try to get them back there.

Signed from Scottish Premier League side Hearts, Neilson is quickly settling into life at City and said "This is definitely a big enough club. It is going to be a difficult season, a lot of tough games and big teams but hopefully we have the squad to do something.

"When Leicester were in the Premiership they had a lot of Press in Scotland but when they went down to the Championship and then League One they went off the radar a bit in the Scottish media.

"There have been a lot of Scottish players at Leicester over the years and a lot of Scots still keep an eye on them.

It is a club with a great history and hopefully I can help bring them up again.

"I came down knowing the club could make the step up. It wasn't so long ago they were in the top flight and everything here is Premier League standard so it is just a case of getting back up there."

Two days into pre-season training, Neilson already feels very much at home, impressed with the surroundings and feeling very positive after very favourable first impressions.

He said "I have enjoyed it, and it has been great to get started and meet the players.

"The training ground is fantastic and the stadium is much bigger than Tynecastle so it is just a matter of getting settled in."

A star at the Edinburgh club for many years, was it a wrench to leave a place where he had enjoyed so many good times?

He said "It wasn't in the end. I think it was the right thing. I played a lot of games in the first team for the last decade and felt I needed a change at the right age to go.

"I left on good terms, we had qualified for the Europa League and the team played well towards the end of the season "

Neilson, renowned among other qualities, for his long-throw expertise, is not concerned about the different surroundings of English football from the Scottish game and said "It is all football. Now, it is about getting to know the players and fitting into the manager's style of play and I am sure in the next few weeks I am sure he will get his ideas across."
