Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is delighted with what he's seeing from Cengiz Under.

Under scored his first Leicester goal last week since his season-long loan from Roma.

"He has that real special talent," Rodgers said. "People don't realise how fast he is. He's very quick. He can run without the ball. That is very good. But he can also make the last pass, he can dribble past someone, he can eliminate defenders out of the game.

"That is something that you need at times against deep, tight defences. He is still adapting, still finding his feet at the level but we are all enjoying working together with him. He is proving a valuable member for us.

"Having a left-footed player who could come in from the inside and play on the inside and feed passes through was something that we needed."
