ADO Den Haag’s Sam van Huffel on trial at Leicester City

Eredivisie outfit ADO Den Hagg’s Sam van Huffel is on trial at Leicester City, as reported by the Leicester Mercury.

Currently a part of the U-21s side, the Dutchman has featured 11 times for them this season, assisting three goals in the process.

One of those assists came in a 3-2 win over RKC Waalwijk as the Leicester City scouts watched him in action.

The 19-year old has also attracted interest from Premier League’s big boys, Manchester United and Chelsea. While he is reported to have already had a trial with the Reds, he is due to be off to London for a trial with the Blues, too.

If Leicester City go ahead and buy him later in the summer, Sam van Huffel would probably either be sent on loan or be a part of an excellent Leicester City’s U-21s side, which has a lot of other very good players who are all ready to take a step forward.

Harvey Barnes (U-20s), Darnell Johnson (U-20s) George Thomas (U-21s) and Alex Pascanu (U-21s), Demarai Gray, Ben Chilwell, Wilfred Ndidi, Demarai Gray and even Fousseni Diabate – who Claude Puel has right away handed a place in the first team – are all top players in the making, reassuring those in charge that the future lies in good hands.

Next: Ben Chilwell or Christian Fuchs: Who do Leicester City pick?

Claude Puel’s willingness to give more chances to young players has certainly helped, and as a result, we have seen a much improved Gray, a completely different Ndidi and a maturing Chilwell, all of whom are soon going to form the core of this team.
