Foxes Stars & Blue Army Enjoy Half-Term Signing Session
Youri Tielemans, Ayoze Pérez and Filip Benković joined the Blue Army at the Foxes Fanstore on Wednesday for a special half-term signing session!
"They are always there for us, through the worst times and the best times too, so we're all really happy to be here."
For Pérez, meanwhile, it was an opportunity to further acquaint himself with the Leicester fans after signing from Newcastle United earlier this year.
"It feels good to see the happiness on the kids' faces," the Spanish midfielder added. "It's always good to be involved in this kind of thing, so it's a great day, and I'm happy to be involved.
"To be able to get close to them... I'm always up for this kind of thing. It's good for us and also for them because you can see their happiness."
The trio of Foxes was completed by Croatian defender Benković, who impressed on loan with Scottish champions Celtic last season, after joining City from Dinamo Zagreb in 2018.
"It's always nice to spend time with the fans because they're always here to support us, every day, and in every game," the 22-year-old said.
"We can be grateful to have fans like them and we can only enjoy times like today. It makes my day when you see them so happy. Their support means a lot to us and hopefully we can make them happy."
Foxes supporter, Matt, on the other hand, came with his family and they were delighted to spend their afternoon in the company of three Foxes stars in a relaxed environment.
"It's a fantastic opportunity to come down and meet the players," he said. "Our one-year-old is with us so we're getting him into the Club at a young age!
"With us both being Season Ticket Holders, it's a great chance to come down and meet these legends! They fell in love with Noah, so it was nice to get him closer to the Club."
Tina, another member of the Blue Army who travelled to King Power Stadium on Wednesday, added: "It's been amazing, I think I'm more excited than the kids were!
"I feel so grateful to be given chances like this. I took my kids to the go-karting event on Tuesday so it's really nice that they get these opportunities. It's a homely club and I'm proud to be a fan."
