Ayoze Perez admits 'suffering' in Leicester role

Ayoze Perez admits his role at Leicester City is a tough one.

The right-wing position is not one of Perez's favourites but the Leicester City forward believes he has adapted to the “suffering" felt in the position.

“If you ask me for my favourite position, that's number nine," he told Talksport. “In number 10, I feel very comfortable there as well.

“In the last couple of years, I've been playing wide. It took a bit of time to learn tactically how to move, how to defend in that position. You suffer a bit more playing wide, it's a lot of effort.

“I've adapted myself quite well. I'm still able to get into the box and score goals, which is always important for a forward.

“I feel comfortable in that position, so as soon as I am on the pitch, I don't doubt myself, I'll do whatever it takes to keep that position."
