The Welshman is currently on loan with Championship side Huddersfield Town but will be given a chance to return and say his goodbyes to the fans at a future event.
King has been with Leicester since he was 16 years of age, playing 378 games in all competitions for them across three divisions and scoring 62 goals.
He is Leicester’s highest scoring midfielder of all time and will go down in history as a legend.
Former Foxes’ striker Gary Lineker has sent a classy message to King on Twitter as he reacts to his imminent departure:
Good luck and thank you for everything. 👏🏻👏🏻 https://t.co/qL3NMTtu6w
