Leicester City’s African players have been reacting to the death of the club’s chairman, Thailand billionaire Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, who was killed in a helicopter crash at King Power Stadium at the weekend.

The club has the biggest contingent of African players in the English Premier League.

“May the good Lord accept your soul. Rest on boss,” Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho wrote on Twitter.

Among others to pay tribute were Algerian winger Rachid Ghezzal, Tunisian defender Yohan Benalouane and Malian midfielder Fousseni Diabaté

Srivaddhanapraba bought Leicester City in 2010 and had overseen its gradual rise first to the Premier League and then winning the league in 2016.
