Leicester City signing Patson Daka is eager to learn from new teammate Jamie Vardy.
Daka watched the Leicester City story unfold from afar in 2016 as the Foxes lifted the Premier League title and he is now focused on ensuring he is prepared mentally and physically to give his all as the Club pursues further success in future.
“I have been following Leicester from the time they won the Premier League," Daka told lcfc.com. “I follow their games and their playing style. Jamie Vardy is one of the players I look up to because of his playing style and the qualities that he has.
“I'm so excited to be able to have this opportunity to be next to him and to learn from him. It's just a privilege for me. The Premier League is one of the best leagues in the world. I have been preparing for this challenge and I know it's not going to be easy, but no one said it's going to be easy!
“I just have to be ready and make sure that I prepare myself as adequately as possible to be able to face this new challenge that I'm about to take. It really is a motivating factor for me.
“I am from Salzburg, where we are used to winning trophies at the end of the year, so that winning mentality… I have a feeling it's what the Leicester team has too. I feel it's a perfect place for me because it's a team that fights for titles, it's a team that is hungry, with young, talented players.
“I'm so excited that I will be part of such a team where they have that hunger in them to win trophies at the end of the day."
