Leicester City first team coach Kevin Phillips has heaped praise on Inter Milan great and current Foxes star Esteban Cambiasso.
Cambiasso, 34, has played a crucial part in Leicester's resurgence of late which has seen them win three league games in a row to move off the bottom of the Premier League table.
"There were question marks whether he could cut it in the Premier League, but he has been fantastic," Phillips said.
"He'd win the award if there was an 'old player of the season'. He brings calmness to the team, for the young players. He is not just a leader on the pitch; he is a leader off it too."
The Argentine midfielder has scored four goals for the Foxes this season and has been an integral part of Nigel Pearson's survival-chasing outfit.
