One Leicester City star has made an admirable albeit too late revelation about his playing style. Not to mention the midfielder believing he's partly to blame for the team's rapid Premier League downfall. What did the Nigeria international say exactly? And is he right about the instance?
Meanwhile a young, £5 million Foxes signing from Chelsea is apparently set for his LCFC debut. We explain what Michael Golding is all about and whether or not he'll likely feature for the East Midlanders at King Power Stadium versus fellow relegated side Southampton.
£5m Chelsea signing could make first senior Foxes appearance against relegation outfit Southampton
Golding arrived with a solid reputation from the Blues. Obviously some people will immediately think 'CFC wouldn't have allowed any top prospect to leave, they'd only sell their unwanted starlets'. And, to be fair to the slightly uniformed commentary, they do somewhat have a point.
However, over the years so-called big six clubs have let plenty of quality ballers exit. In fact, even preeminent players have departed Stamford Bridge: Kevin De Bruyne and Mo Salah are two prime examples.
Therefore I'll reserve judgement on Golding until I've watched him play a few times. That sentiment applies to any other footballer, for that matter. Below is a quote about expectancy for the 18-year-old, highly regarded attaking midfielder.

Leicester City player Wilfred Ndidi takes partial culpability for downfall of team this season
Ndidi recently made what has been described as an 'honest admission'. He thinks he got "carried away" on occasion during the current failed campaign.
The 28-year-old is referring to his occasionally dismissed defensive responsibilities. He said that he could have protected a floundering defence more appropriately.
"I feel like I should have done more when it comes to defending. I’m playing in a higher position, but I feel like I should have done more. Even when I’m up there, I should have come back to help."Wilf Ndidi
To be honest, Ndidi was deployed in a higher and less defensive-minded role. Yet, if he says so, maybe he could have made a more strenuous effort to defend.
