FIFA president Gianni Infantino on Tuesday hailed Leicester City's unlikely English Premier League triumph as a 'fairy tale' come true.

"It's a fairy tale. It's a football story that only football can write," Infantino told reporters on the sidelines of a UEFA congress in Budapest.

"It's great not just for Leicester fans but for football fans everywhere," added the world football leader after the Foxes overcame huge odds to take the English title.
