Juventus star Mandzukic backs Leicester flop Kramaric to succeed at Hoffenheim

Mario Mandzukic believes Andrej Kramaric will rediscover his best form with Hoffenheim.

The 25-year-old striker struggled to impress at Leicester City after joining the Foxes from HNK Rijeka in January 2015, which prompted and initial loan and subsequent permanent move to Germany this past summer.

Juventus star Mandzukic knows Kramaric well from their time together in the Croatia national team and feels that his compatriot will be a hit with Hoffenheim once he fully settles in the Bundesliga.

"I know him very well from his playing days in Croatia and he's obviously a quality player," said former Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich star Mandzukic.

"I know what he can do during the match and during the training sessions and I believe there are a lot of good things waiting for him in his career.

"He is a hard worker and I think he made a good move by moving to the Bundesliga because he has shown he can play at the highest level."
