Leicester City players to be rewarded with £32,670 Mercedes after sealing unlikely Premier League title win
- Leicester exceeded expectations in the Premier League this season

Ultra-generous Thai businessman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha is determined to reward the 30-man Foxes squad for their historic Barclays Premier League triumph with a car.
Sportsmail understands players would receive the same vehicle - a Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive. The on-road price for the car is £32,670, so it is a gesture that will cost Srivaddhanaprabha the best part of £1million.
The billionaire has already promised Claudio Ranieri's squad an all-expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas for their championship success.

All that is in addition to a £6.5m pot split between the squad under the terms of the club's bonus agreement with the Premier League.
However, Srivaddhanaprabha believes his over-achievers should be further rewarded for their extraordinary season and is looking at ways of doing so.
Leicester have exceeded all expectations this term
Leicester's remarkable campaign has seen the club's global profile sky-rocket and secured millions of pounds worth of extra revenue.
That will continue next season when they make their debut in the lucrative Champions League, and the tycoon feels it is only right the players receive their share of the pie.
Srivaddhanaprabha can afford it, of course, given he is worth £2billion.
Nevertheless, it is the latest show of generosity from Leicester's owner - who has been know to provide free beer for supporters at the King Power Stadium on match-days.
