CHRISTIAN FUCHS IS an interesting guy.

Last summer, he swapped the Bundesliga and one of the league’s best sides for a move to a Premier League team tipped as certainties for relegation.

But, maybe he saw something we didn’t?

Leicester are nearing in on a remarkable and unlikely championship and Fuchs has been a crucial element in their success.

There are other intriguing aspects to his life, namely that his wife and two children live in New York as his partner was previously a senior analyst for Goldman Sachs. And Fuchs sees his future in the US, albeit in quite a different environment, as he revealed to Sky Sports over the weekend.
