Time to hype Adrien Silva up

Adrien Silva is some player, isn’t he? We haven’t seen too much of him in the Premier League yet, but judging by his recent displays and the show that he put up today, the Portuguese is a gem of a midfielder who’d soon form an integral part of the side.

Claude Puel must now manage to find space for him in the team – and regularly too – as his partnership with Wilfred Ndidi is what appears to be the best of a number of options that Leicester City have in more ways than one.

Next: Riyad Mahrez’s situation is a shambles – but who is to blame?

We have often lamented the lack of either creativity or defensive cover from the Leicester midfield, but with Silva and Ndidi today, the Foxes found both, especially from the former. Exciting times ahead.
