There is always a place for a player such as Hamza Choudhury in any football squad, at any level of the game, as FoL see it. It just so happens that Leicester already have ample quality in that defensive-minded role – Wilfred Ndidi, new signing Boubakary Soumare and Papy Mendy – with Choudhury deserving to be playing week-in-week-out in the English top-flight.

That side eventually lost to the Brewers – named for their connection to the Bass family and brand – on penalties as it was the off-season Bass Charity Vase match of 2021.
While Daka was not provided with the appropriate service to showcase his skill set in full, the Zambian did show electrifying pace, willingness, anticipation and a very strong determination to win the ball and to generally succeed or score.
