Steve Cooper has seen the pressure ease on his role as Leicester City manager somewhat after securing a first Premier League win against Bournemouth last time out.
Steve Cooper may not feel as though he has the luxury of being able to look too far into the future given he is yet to win over the Leicester City fanbase.
Wins certainly help with that and Cooper can thank Facundo Buonanotte for scoring the goal that saw Leicester beat Bournemouth 1-0.
Buonanotte is only at Leicester for the season on loan from Brighton, but if Cooper is to keep his job long-term he will need to consider the contract situations of his players.
37-year-old Jamie Vardy is the most notable player who will see his contract expire next summer, but he is not alone in this regard.
With that in mind, here is the current situation regarding each of Leicester’s first-team stars.
