Hamza Choudhury inks Leicester deal ahead of Burton move

Burton Albion have re-signed Leicester City midfielder Hamza Choudhury on a season-long loan deal.

Choudhury made 13 league appearances last season for the Brewers to help them win promotion from League One after joining on loan in February.

The 18-year-old is eligible to play in Burton's first game of the new season against Nottingham Forest.

"He knows how he work and operate so we are pleased with the deal," manager Nigel Clough said.

"We were impressed with Hamza in his first spell, in particular how he adapted so quickly to his first taste of senior football."

Choudhury has also signed a new four-year deal with the Premier League champions.
