Foxes kit will honour Vichai

- Dave Armitage

LEICESTER will wear two different kits for Saturday’s emotional game against Burnley.

In the first half they will wear shirts with the name of Vichai Srivaddhan­aprabha embroidere­d into them while in the second half they will play in shirts with the traditiona­l Remembranc­e Day poppy.

Fans will be given an assortment of gifts to celebrate the life of their late owner, who died when his helicopter crashed after the last home match against West Ham.

Supporters will be handed scarves, pin badges, clappers and special programmes to commemorat­e the life of the man known as ‘The Boss’ and there will be two minutes silence before the game.

The Foxes have also announced plans to relocate the thousands of floral tributes to a new site close to the crash site.

And the club have asked supporters to make their way to the ground early because of potential congestion caused by a walk from the city centre to the King Power Stadium, which is expected to be taken by about 20,000 fans.

Leicester’s players return to full training today after attending the funeral in Bangkok. SOUTHAMPTO­N are lining up a January swoop for Japanese forward Shoya Nakajima to help ease their relegation fears.

Saints scouts have watched Nakajima, right, play for Portuguese club Portimonen­se several times in recent weeks.

Nakajima, 24, a Japan team-mate of Saints defender Maya Yoshida, has netted four goals in seven games.
