Leicester veteran Albrighton backing Daka and Barnes for big season

Leicester City veteran Marc Albrighton is backing Patson Daka and Harvey Barnes for a big season ahead.

The pair have scored two goals each so far this preseason.

"The manager has put a lot of onus on scoring more goals, creating more chances and being more of an attacking threat," Albrighton told LCFC TV after victory against Hull. "He'll be more than pleased with the clean sheet and being able to take that into the weekend.

"Harvey will be full of confidence now after scoring a couple of goals, and Patson the same. They're top talents and I know the manager works closely with them to get their numbers up. It's important they continue to develop and listen to what the manager's saying. They can go on and score a lot more this season, and create a lot more chances."
