Leicester City boss comments on PSV Eindhoven's star right-winger Noni Madueke amid transfer speculation around the player. Here is what you must know.
The King Power outfit versus PSV is a game which is an audition for the young star. Plus, he thinks his time in the Netherlands is coming to an end sooner. With Ademola Lookman and Barnes, they have two players more suited to the left, and in March Albrighton they have a workhorse, but not a maestro. Therefore, it makes sense for the East Midland club’s owners to look towards young and prolific talent to bring back to England and excite supporters. However, possibly the best bet for senior first team football has to be a side without an existing star right-winger. What a brilliant decision that was for the player.

It’s a pity it was my last year because maybe things would have changed for me. The players now are much younger because they sent away guys my age.” “They also scout differently now, and you can see that in Leicester’s soccer.

How we scored the Leicester City players as they played out a 0-0 draw with PSV Eindhoven in the first leg of their quarter-final in the Europa Conference ...
He did well to set up Barnes’ chance and held the ball up at times, but this was far from Iheanacho at his best. Harvey Barnes: When he was able to get into his stride, he was effective, and came closest to scoring with his shot against the bar following some nice link-up. In the first half, he linked well with Barnes and the striker as part of City’s best moves, while also made sure he was an option down the left. Deeper in the midfield and with more of the pitch and more players in front of him, he was able to pick out good passes throughout. He beaten by Madueke a couple of times, but not often enough to make a difference to the game. He played Mario Gotze onside for his big early chance, failing to step up with the rest of defence, and then bundled Gakpo over in the box, with the lack of VAR coming to his rescue.
Leicester City played out a 0-0 draw at the King Power Stadium against PSV Eindhoven in the first leg of their Europa Conference League quarter-final.
He then hits a fizzing shot against the frame of the goal as it smacks against the far post! Gakpo gets taken out in the box by Pereira, who slips but catches the PSV man. Veerman is caught in possession and his pass bounces off Maddison into the path of Iheanacho, who is in on goal. 52' - NO PENALTY! - Leicester get away with one! 43’ - OFF THE POST! - What a move by Leicester, and once again, it is Dewsbury-Hall that makes it, with a driving run. He tries to chip the ball over an on-rushing Mvogo, but the effort sails agonisingly wide of the far post!
