The Foxes are about to be relegated with only two matches left. Southampton had faced relegation before and the Foxes lost 3-0 to the Reds in their final game as Mohamed Salah scored three brilliant assists for his side. .
Several players are out of contract with Leicester this summer and through 2024. Belgian midfielder Youri Tielemans' contract at the club is set to expire this summer. Tielemans has attracted a lot of interest from top European clubs and the Gunners were very interested in signing him last summer, but no agreement was reached. Arsenal could rekindle their interest in Youri Tielemans as Leicester City could be relegated. Daniel Amartey is a Leicester City first-team player and his contract expires this summer.
Caglar Soyuncu, Mendy, Jonny Evans, Ryan Bertrand, Ayoze Perez and Ndidi are out of contract at Leicester City this summer.
Kelechi Iheanacho, Luke Thomas, Praet, Vestergaard, Jamie Vardy and James Maddison are out of contract with the club in 2024.
Leicester City could be relegated from the Premier League this season and the club could lose some of their top players this summer. The warblers were interested in signing James Maddison last summer and they could rekindle their interest in the British International.

Manchester City's historic treble attempt faces its final test on Wednesday when Real Madrid visit the Etihad in an attempt to retain their Champions League crown.
City are just four wins away from equaling Manchester United in the 1998/99 season as the only team to win the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup in the same season.
Just 3 points from the last 3 matches in the league, Pep Guardiola's army will win their 5th title in 6 seasons and United will await the first Manchester derby in the FA Cup final on June 3.
But Madrid pose the biggest hurdle, just as they did in the semi-final 12 months ago, when they prevented City from reaching the final in Istanbul and conquering Europe.
At that time, Carlo Ancelotti's army made a spectacular comeback with two goals in the dying moments at the Santiago Bernabeu. Crucially, however, the English champions this time have home advantage for the decisive second leg as they attempt to face Inter Milan in the final.
Although Man City's fan base heats up slowly in the Champions League, Guardiola's army has turned the Etihad into an almost impenetrable fortress.
City have not lost at home in Europe in five years, winning 23 and drawing only two of their 25 Champions League appearances since then.
This year, they have won all 14 home matches in all competitions.
"It's 1-1 and we're at the Etihad where we're very confident we'll get a result in the Champions League," said City defender Kyle Walker. "I hope we start over."
In contrast to Man City's attempt to shift domestic dominance to Europe, Madrid once again hold the best record this season for the Champions League.
- 'We feel comfortable' -
Barcelona has been crowned La Liga champion, far ahead of Real with only 3 championships in the past 11 years.
But while domestic success is modest by Real's high standards, many in the current squad have won five Champions League medals over the past decade.
Madrid midfielder Luka Modric said: "We always feel comfortable in these kinds of matches.
"We know that in the Champions League we always play well because it's the league we love. We feel at home while playing these games.
"That's why we have won so many Champions Leagues because we are confident in ourselves and we believe in our quality."
Madrid have beaten two Premier League teams, Liverpool and Chelsea, on their way to the bottom 4 of the table.
But City are a different beast and the visitors will do well to keep 52-goal striker Erling Haaland as quiet as the Norwegian did in the first leg.
"Madrid and City are the best teams in Europe right now," said Ancelotti.
The stakes are even higher than usual in the semi-finals, with the winners strong favorites to be next month's European champions. Inter Milan overcame local rivals AC Milan to reach their first final in 13 years.
But the Nerazzurri are 17 points behind Serie A champions Napoli and cannot match Man City or Madrid in star quality.
