Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is delighted with what he's seen from Vontae Daley-Campbell.

The 19-year-old right-back impressed in his first-ever senior game to help City beat Brighton 1-0 and earn a place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

“I was so happy for him," said Rodgers. “He's a boy who came into us 18 months ago and he was a young player at Arsenal and we took him in.

“He has that pace, he has that power. He needed to get fitter, that was something we've always talked to him in his game, he needs to have that fitness. To play in a team of mine, you need to have running ability, and you need to have that speed endurance as a wing-back or full-back to get up and down the pitch."
