Berner has 16 international caps for Switzerland

Leicester City defender Bruno Berner is targeting a play-off place in the Championship this season.

The Foxes were promoted as champions of League One last season and Bruno wants the club to continue their momentum, though he admits it will be difficult.

"I want to see us in the top six as quickly as possible," Berner told BBC Radio Leicester.

"But there are big, big teams in the Championship and we will have to do very, very well to be up there."

The 31-year-old has set his sights on a strong start to the season, and believes that will be crucial to the Foxes' campaign.

"We just need to get it going," he added. "I think if we can have a good start, that's very important.

"There are 46 games to go and once again it's a long, long season, but we are all confident and we just want to continue our work.

"I think we're heading in the right direction with Leicester City."
