Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is pleased to be working with summer signing Ademola Lookman.

The 23-year-old winger, on a season-long loan from German side RB Leipzig with a view to a permanent switch, has yet to really settle during his fledgling career.

“I'm really excited about working with Ade, he's a top talent," said Rodgers. “I wanted to take him to Celtic when he was at Charlton. I was aware of him when he was 15.

“He has all the tools, he has a great dribbling ability, how he views the game, he has an eye for a goal. My hope is that this environment will give him a chance to flourish. Hopefully he can find a home here. I have no doubt the supporters will be excited by him.

“He can play in a number of positions. His preferred position is off the left side but he can play on the inside as well and on the right.

“He's very balanced. He's got two good feet. You wouldn't know which is his strongest foot, he can strike the ball very well off both sides."

Leicester resume their Premier League campaign with a home game against champions Manchester City on Saturday.

Asked if Lookman will make his debut, Rodgers said: “I'm excited to work with Ade over the course of the season, he's going to have an impact. He's available. He looks fit and strong. If he doesn't start, he may play some part in the game.

“His contribution will be dependent on the tactic we want to use in the game and we have a number of players who can give us that option."
