Riyad Mahrez and NGolo Kante will leave newly-crowned Premier League champions Leicester City this summer, predicts Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson. The two midfielders have been key players in Leicesters odds-defying title win under Claudio Ranieri this season, with Mahrez named PFA Player of the Year.However, Merson says the pair will be targeted by a number of top clubs during the transfer window and could be tempted by a move.I worry Riyad Mahrez and NGolo Kante could leave, Merson told Sky Sports.I dont see a problem with Jamie Vardy, as I dont think anyone will pay a lot of money for him at 29 years old, but the other two stars are a worry. Id be shocked if those two [Mahrez and Kante] were there next season. Paul Merson Kante will be at the Euros and his France team-mates will be going: Oh, my manager wants you. Thats how it works and hes going to have his head twisted.Id be shocked if those two were there next season. Signing of the season? Why NGolo Kante is the signing of the season after his pivotal role in Leicesters title triumph. Leicester boss Ranieri told Sky Sports on Tuesday that he is keen to keep his title-winning squad together next season but insisted he would allow unhappy players to leave in order to protect the spirit in his camp.The Italian also revealed Leicester would be looking to strengthen their squad for their Premier League defence in 2016/17, when they will also have to manage a Champions League campaign. If some players dont want to stay with us because they are unhappy to continue with us, then I dont want unhappy people. Claudio Ranieri I dont want to sell anybody but of course if some players dont want to stay with us because they are unhappy to continue with us, then I dont want unhappy people, said Ranieri. We are looking to reinforce the team but with the same mentality, because this is my mentality and this is their mentality. We all linked very well together. Whoever comes in must know we are working hard. Claudio Ranieri thinks Leicesters Premier League title run cannot be replicated Merson expects Leicesters plans for summer signings to already be well underway but suggests they would most likely lose out to the likes of Manchester City and Manchester United in a race to sign big-name players .I dont know who they can bring in, he said. Theyre going to have to use all of Ranieris experience bringing in players that other people dont know about and arent going for. How Leicester did it differently Leicesters Premier League win has been like no other. Heres how they did it their way... They arent going to get a player that Manchester City and Manchester United are trying to sign, even though theyre champions.I think their business will be done very quietly and very quickly, they wont mess about. Theyre probably doing it right now as we speak, thats how theyll have to work, theres no doubt about it. Also See: Kante: Signing of the season?

BOSTON -- With security tight along the 26.2-mile route, tens of thousands of runners set out from the starting line at the Boston Marathon on Monday in a "Boston Strong" show of resilience a year after the deadly bombing. "I showed up, Im back, and I am going to finish what I didnt finish last year," said Mary Cunningham, 50, of St. Petersburg, Fla., who was stopped a mile short of the finish line by the explosions last year. The two pressure-cooker bombs that went off near the finish line killed three people and wounded more than 260. Police were deployed in force along the course, with helicopters circling above and bomb-sniffing dogs checking through trash cans. Officers were posted on roofs. Boston Marathon race director Dave McGillivray said it had been a long and difficult year. "Were taking back our race," he said. "Were taking back the finish line." A total of 35,755 athletes were registered to run -- the second-largest field in its history, with many coming to show support for the event and the city that was traumatized by the attack on its signature sporting event. "I cant imagine the number of emotions that are going to be there," said Katie ODonnell, who was stopped less than a mile from the end last year. "I think Im going to start crying at the starting line, and Im not sure Ill stop until I cross the finish line." Buses bearing the message "Boston Strong" dropped off runners at the starting line in the town of Hopkinton. A banner on one building read: "You are Boston Strong. You Earned This." The most obvious change for the 118th running of the worlds oldest annual marathon was the heavy security. Nevertheless, many found the atmosphere to be calm and friendly. "I think everybody is being very pleasant," said Jean Bertschman, a Hopkinton resident who comes to watch the start of the marathon most years and had never seen anything close to this level of security. Spectators went through tight seccurity checkpoints before being allowed near Hopkinton Common.dddddddddddd Runners had to use clear plastic bags for their belongings, and fans hoping to watch near the finish line were encouraged to leave strollers and backpacks behind. More than 100 cameras were installed along the route in Boston, and race organizers said 50 or so observation points would be set up around the finish line to monitor the crowd. Runner Scott Weisberg, 44, from Birmingham, Ala., said he had trouble sleeping the night before. "With everything that happened last year, I cant stop worrying about it happening again. I know the chances are slim to none, but I cant help having a nervous pit in my stomach," Weisberg said. Race organizers expanded the field from its recent cap of 27,000 to make room for more than 5,000 runners who were still on the course last year at the time of the explosions, for friends and relatives of the victims, and for those who made the case that they were "profoundly impacted" by the attack. Lelisa Desisa of Ethiopia and Kenyas Rita Jeptoo, who crossed the finish line on Boylston Street about three hours before the explosions, returned to defend their championships. Desisa came to Boston last fall to donate his first-place medal to the city as a gesture of support. Jeptoo, who also won the race in 2006, said she is hoping for a third victory -- and one she can enjoy. "It was very difficult to be happy. People were injured and children died," she said of last years marathon. "If Im going to win again, I hope I can be happier and to show people, like I was supposed to last year." Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 20, is awaiting trial in the April 15, 2013, attack and could get the death penalty. Prosecutors said he and his older brother -- ethnic Chechens who came to the U.S. from Russia more than a decade ago -- carried out the attack in retaliation for U.S. wars in Muslim lands. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died in a shootout with police days after the bombings. ' ' '
