Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger believes another club is capable of emulating Leicester City's heroics by successfully challenging the traditional Premier League powerhouses.

Leicester achieved the unimaginable by going on to claim the title with two games to spare this season, just 12 months after fending off relegation.

Claudio Ranieri's men were 5000-1 outsiders at the start of the season but led the table for most of the campaign before pipping second-placed Tottenham to their first ever top-flight crown.

And with Spurs and West Ham also managing to outperform bigger clubs in the league this term, Wenger predicts the traditional "big four" is a thing of the past and believes Leicester's remarkable efforts could be repeated in the future.

"Let's go back to the start of this season," he said. "Predictions were: number one Chelsea will win it again. Number two, Manchester City.

"In the end any pundit who would have predicted Leicester would have met the response: 'Stop your job and do something else'. And that is what can happen again.

"Maybe a team that nobody expects now will come next season and surprise everyone. All the English clubs have the money to buy now.

"You've got West Ham moving into a new stadium with more potential with the finances that brings. Tottenham are creating a new stadium as well.

"So in a few years the potential in England will be much more shared than everywhere else and you can get more surprises.

"Let's not forget Leicester are not poor. If you go to the car park of Leicester, you will still see some nice cars. But they've done extremely well with less resources and their efficiency level between money spent and results are by far the best in Europe, and you have to give them credit for that."
