It was hoped that the central defender would stay at the SPL champions for 2019/20, but it looks as if he will be at the King Power Stadium for the upcoming season after saying his goodbyes to Neil Lennon’s men on Instagram.

“It was a huge honour and privilege to wear the Hoops for a season,” Benković posted.

“This club will always be very special to me.

“Thank you to my teammates and to the fans for everything.

“Good luck for the future and historic 10 in a row.”
