Leicester prospect proclaims self special, interest delights other

Leicester City prospect Sidnei Tavares has proclaimed himself a special talent. While interest in another player delights the potential Fox.

At the time of writing – late Saturday afternoon – the Leicester squad and the first team staff will be in Brighton having a final meal and a rest before traveling to American Express Stadium for the clash with the Seagulls.

Brighton & Hove Albion are a mainstay in the Premier League now, after astute managerial work from several managers. Culminating in the appointment of pragmatist and embracer of modern footballing philosophy and youth, Graham Potter.

Those elements are not the only similarity between Potter and his opposite number, Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers. Both men are mildly spoken, measured and seem to be elevating their respective profiles ahead of what is sure to be another ‘score draw’.

Rising Leicester City star labels self special

Sidnei Tavares’ ascendance is in motion at present, helped by injuries to forward-thinking midfielders and attack-minded players on Filbert Way. Tavares has pedigree: he is a cousin of former significant Manchester United name, Nani.

The Fox has now made his European and EPL debuts, impressing along the way. And he is a confident young athlete:

"“I like to show people that I am not just any player, that I am special. I want to be that player that the others look at and say: ‘I would like to have this player on my team.’“In my opinion, that is the main reason for me to be in the first team. I like to show myself and I like to be what I am: different.”– Sidnei TavaresVia Leicestershire Live"

Additionally, a potential King Power star of the future has spoken out in favour of the Leicestershire side recently. Emilio Tare, on trial with the Foxes via Mexicans Club Puebla from Liga MX., says “It is the dream of many” to be given a chance with the English top-flight champions of 2015/16.
