Enzo Maresca’s side have enjoyed a brilliant campaign – even if they had threatened to make a mess of it over the run-in before eventually clinching automatic promotion back to the Premier League with two games left to play.
The Ghana winger has made a big impact during his loan spell from Sporting Lisbon. He has scored seven goals from the wing – including a hat-trick in the 5-0 mauling of Southampton – and has provided 13 assists.
Vestergaard has been the rock of the Leicester defence that has been, for the most part, so solid. The Foxes have conceded less than a goal a game throughout the season and the Denmark international’s composure and class has been a key reason.
Mavididi’s form in the first half of the season was a big reason why Leicester looked like they were going to run away with the league. It dropped off after January, but a tally of 13 goals and six assists still represents an impressive return.
There is a tradition of Denmark goalkeepers at Leicester and Hermansen has lived up to the billing. The 23-year-old has kept 14 clean sheets along the way, providing reliability with his hands and his feet.
