Emile Heskey Reveals That He'd Love to Return to Leicester City

Rest assured, Leicester City fans, a saviour could be on the way! 

Former Leicester City man and Internet legend Emile Heskey has revealed that he'd relish a return to the club. 

After all, only Aston Villa and Burnley have scored fewer goals than the Foxes have in the Premier League this season. 

Surely they could use a man who has been capped 62 times for England's talent to help with their relegation scrap.

Heskey, 36, hasn't played since putting in a shift for A-League Newcastle Jets in April. He scored 46 times in 196 games for Leicester while plying his trade for the side between 1994-2000. 

"It goes without saying, I'd love to come," Heskey told BBC Radio Leicester (h/t Who Ate All The Pies). "It is a great club that allowed me to get to the platform that I got to. 

"I was an England international when I was with Leicester so that was a great achievement." 

It remains to be seen whether or not he'll be welcomed back to his former club (they have a spot for a free agent on their squad), but one thing's for sure, it would make this man very happy.
