Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is delighted with the early impact of Timothy Castagne.

Rodgers had been a long-term admirer of Castagne and tried to sign him during his time at Celtic.

"I have a profile of player I like to play in my teams and usually the guys that play full-back are ones who are really athletic, have great speed going forward and also have tenacity when they defend," said Rodgers.

"That was something I had seen with Timothy.

"I have been delighted with him, getting to know him. Everything that I expected and more. He has got a real hunger, from the first day, to impress and improve. His desire to get up there and support but also to defend is critical in how I want to play."
