McLaren Group chairman Kevin Taylor said: “It’s a wonderful opportunity to partner with Leicester City to create a facility that will help to shape the next generation of top sportsmen and women – for the club and for the sport.

“We bring our considerable experience in sports and leisure facilities to the project, as well as our reputation for quality and timely delivery.”

A sports turf academy included in the centre will train the next generation of grounds-people. The centre will also have a 499-seat mini-venue show pitch.

Last June, LCFC submitted a planning application for the new football training facility that seeks to combine the best practices in elite sports training.

Charnwood Borough Council granted detailed planning permission for the centre in October.
