Leicester City boss Claude Puel has dismissed suggestions that Harry Maguire could leave the King Power Stadium during the summer.

Both Manchester City and Manchester United have been linked with a move for the centre-back, who only made the switch to the Foxes before the start of the current campaign.

However, Puel has said that he wants to build a team around the England international, who has made 39 starts for the East Midlands outfit.

At a press conference, the 56-year-old told reporters: "Harry is a valuable player for us and I want to build my team around him. It's just speculation.

"He came into Leicester, played, developed and he needs to continue to improve. He's a young player with fantastic attributes, an international player, it's a good thing to have this player at Leicester.

"It's important to give him a good feeling for the future, to build a good team around him, to keep a good ambition for the future."

Maguire still has over four years remaining on his contract with Leicester.
