Leicester defender Wesley Fofana is similar to Liverpool star Virgil Van Dijk, according to Watford veteran Troy Deeney.

Signed from St. Etienne in the summer, Fofana has burst onto the scene for Brendan Rodgers' Foxes.

"I think Fofana, the centre-half," Deeney told talkSPORT, "he, for me, at 19 is showing very similar [qualities] to what [Virgil] van Dijk did when he came down from Celtic to Southampton.

"I think in maybe two years' time one of the big boys will try and buy him."
