Watch Leicester's Kirsten Otchere's 3 goals whilst staking XI claim

There are still many problems at Leicester City Football Club. For example, the on and off-field collapses brought about consecutive relegations, or three demotions in four seasons, if you look at the overall form.

And, yes, the defence, midfield and attack mostly floundered in those years, apart from one or two standouts like Jamie Vardy and occasionally Abdul Fatawu. Yet the Foxes couldn't even call on Vardy to save them last season in the EFL championship - where things went from very bad to extremely worse.

Amid poor recruiting, bad play on the pitch, terrible managerial appointments and an all-out justifiable, pessimistic outlook on Filbert Way, were financial restrictions, a points deduction and even clubs like Leeds United attempting to sue the East Midlanders or, at least, open open legal proceedings against them.

Fan trust therefore landed at an all time low at King Power Stadium with respects to Jon Rudkin, the former director of football, who is now the chief football officer (give it a name). Not to mention chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha bringing suspicion on his role and placing himself firmly under the microscope with Rudkin.

Nevertheless preseason began and Russell Martin was fairly swiftly appointed; he has been doing everything the Blue Army fan base would want him to. LCFC have won four out of four friendlies; the latter practice match was in spain, where they will play a final game before returning home to face Genoa.

Kirsten Otchere may be the real deal at Leicester City

The other main dilemma for martin to solve is the fact that he doesn't have a senior, recognised centre forward amongst his entire squad. However Nathan Opoku has looked quite dangerous during the offseason. Meanwhile, young striker Kirsten Otchere has really proved himself to be deadly: he has three goals in four appearances which includes three starts.

The team has generally been rotated at half time, in all but one game. Now is the time to run through each and every one of Otchere's finishes from the uncompetitive schedule as he seriously gives his gaffer food for thought whilst staking a claim for a starting role once League One fixtures begin.

Kirsten Otchere's three goals in four Leicester City games

Below is the youthful attacker opening the scoring, which is a more pressurised act, against Bristol Rovers. Hamza Choudhury loses possession but Otchere's vision for the snapshot saw the Leicestershire side go in front.

Yet again, the 19-year-old forward managed to net the inital goal versus Burton Albion as well. Bade Aluko, who is looking like a future LCFC star, had a rebounded shot, giving Otchere an opportunity to showcase his poacher instincts.

Good work from winger Stephy Mavididi supplied the chance for Englishman to notch his third of preseason. Otchere bided his time, positioned himself behind the centre back and rose to place a neat header; he can also play on either wing, so Martin has a real call here.
