No wonder Roberto Martínez fits ‘starman’ perfectly into his highly calibrated Belgian national team. It’d be a real shame if the Foxes fail to keep him motivated to stick around, as we all know at this point how other clubs can lure him away with the prospect of playing Champions League football every season.

Young Player- It’s got to be Leicester City’s newest Zambian who can justify the moniker of being the Best Young Player at the club. Patson Daka is a near-perfect replacement for City’s cult hero Jamie Vardy. He embodies most of the traits that made Vardy stand out. The other noteworthy factor is his uniqueness, combined with his young age that makes the King Power club hopeful of unearthing a hidden gem of a find from RB Salzburg.

Within a brief moment, others have started to take notice of his talents. Daka opened his goal-scoring account against English giants like Manchester United. He netted four goals in a Europa League match against Spartak Moscow, and he is just starting. With a brilliant selfless cheerful nature, he has become a favorite of the supporters. We hope the 23-year-old striker finds plenty more opportunities to start. The boss has kept him protected for the first half of this season.
