The Foxes have confirmed Tom Hopper, Adam Smith and James Pearson - the son of first-team manager and former Newcastle coach Nigel Pearson - will leave the club with immediate effect.

Leicester City statement: "The decision follows the conclusion of an internal investigation and disciplinary proceedings, as a consequence of events that took place during the Club’s end-of-season goodwill tour of Thailand.

"Leicester City Football Club is acutely aware of its position, and that of its players, as a representative of the city of Leicester, the Premier League, the Football Association and the Club’s supporters.

"It is committed to promoting a positive message of community and family values and equality, and to upholding the standards expected of a Club with its history, tradition and aspirations."

The club's internal investigation was launched after the three players were allegedly filmed in an incident with a Thai woman.

The explicit video was reportedly filmed while the players were touring the country celebrating Leicester avoiding relegation from the Premier League.
