​Pereira lauds 'amazing' Leicester City teammate Maddison

Ricardo Pereira has lavished praise on his Leicester City teammate James Maddison.

The Portuguese international is settling well in England after moving to Leicester in the summer transfer window.

Out of all his teammates, he is most impressed by young Maddison's contributions since he arrived from Norwich.

Maddison has three goals and two assists in seven league starts for the club.

"I think it's amazing what he's achieved, because he came from another club, another championship," said the versatile Portugal international to Leicestershire Live.

"You can tell he just wants to play. He's very young - I didn't know how young he was – to do what he's doing at his age, I think it's very good and he's still got a long way to go."
