LEICESTER’S owners have given Claudio Ranieri a blank chequebook for his summer transfer hunt.
The Prem champions have already spent more than £30million — twice smashing their transfer record.

And Polish Euros star Bartosz Kapustka is now expected to become their fifth summer arrival.
The winger, 19, should undergo a Foxes medical this week ahead of a £7.4m move from Cracovia.
But manager Ranieri still wants more reinforcements ahead of the Foxes’ Champions League campaign — and has the backing of the club’s Thai owners.
The Italian, whose transfer kitty was boosted by N’Golo Kante’s £29m move to Chelsea, said: “We’ll see if there is something more that we need.

“Our chairman is ready to buy what I want, or what I need.
“We are always looking as it is important to know what is happening around the world.
“I am very happy. I think everybody is happy here and we stay well together. I have said this many times.”

Ranieri, 64, admits the Foxes may need a ‘Plan B’ this season if rivals try to stop them playing the counter-attacking football that carried them to the title.
He added: “We have to change something because the other teams know us very well now.
“We have to make a Plan B. In these matches maybe we can find a new solution.”
Ranieri is still set to sign a new deal at Leicester but is in no rush. He said: “My contract is no problem — I am happy. The club is working very well.”
