It may be a muddy field in Leicestershire right now, but the Foxes have big plans to build a state-of-the-art training ground to match any Premier League rivals.
Leicester City shared a picture on Wednesday afternoon showing work beginning on their new facility in Charnwood, due for completion in 2020.
The club also shared computer generated plans for what the completed facilities will look like on the grounds of the former Park Hill Golf and Fishing Centre.
They include huge indoor pitches under an arched wood and glass roof, along with buildings and grounds adorned with the club badge.
Work on the 185-acre site, the realisation of plans first revealed by Leicester in 2018, is under way in what the club hope will help them firmly establish themselves among the country's football elite.
The site will feature a total of 11 full size pitches, along with eight smaller playing fields and an artificial indoor surface. There will also be on-site dormitories with 35 bedrooms, along with a hydrotherapy pool to aid players recovering from injury.
Leicester say their aim is to have Charnwood open and operational in time for the 2020/21 league season.
Club chief executive Susan Whelan told the club website: 'The new training ground will elevate the club and our training facilities to another level for generations to come.
'Such a big investment is both a fantastic opportunity and a big responsibility for everyone involved in the project.'

Got to admire the ambition of clubs like Leicester City. Unfortunately for my own club Newcastle United, our stadium that was once the second biggest in the PL and our training ground was once one of the best in the country have both fallen way behind and I can't see us matching the ambition that our PL rivals show whilst under the ownership of Mike Ashley.
I'm afraid Newcastle fans are keeping Ashley's stewardship of the club alive. If they really want him out the Geordies will need to stop attending games.

An excellent, well managed football club, with brilliant ,loud supporters. As a Rangers fan, they have got a good manager in Brendan Rodgers and I am glad he has left Celtic.
