Leicester City captain Wes Morgan finally set to recognize his ambition of playing in the Barclays Premier League at the age of 30. His side host Everton in the 2014/15 season opener on Saturday 16^th of August.

The centre-back guided Leicester to the Championship title last term, just a year after their promotion hopes finished in spectacular fashion when a missed penalty by Anthony Knockaert was followed immediately by a victorious goal from Watford deep into stoppage time at Vicarage Road that sent them to defeat in the play-off semi-finals.

After eight-and-a-half years at Nottingham Forest, before the fusion in Leicester last January of 2012, Morgan is relishing the prospect of his Barclays Premier League debut.

"It's been a long time coming and for it to be so close now, with only a few days left before the campaign begins. I'm just excited - I can't wait for it to begin", Morgan told premierleague.com at the Premier League's Season Launch. "To be playing in the Premier League is something everyone should aspire to. I have always wanted to achieve it and it's one of the best feelings for me."
