Hamza Choudhury caught the attention of Leicester City supporters during the club’s latest pre-season training session after his animated reaction while new manager Russell Martin addressed the squad.
As Martin laid out his expectations ahead of the new campaign, Choudhury appeared fully engaged throughout the team talk, listening closely and showing his enthusiasm as the Foxes continue adapting to their new head coach’s methods.
While there has been no official report of any extraordinary incident, the midfielder’s attitude has not gone unnoticed by supporters following the training footage released by the club.
The Leicester academy graduate has returned for pre-season determined to compete for his place after spending the second half of last season on loan at Sheffield United.
Since rejoining the squad, Choudhury has repeatedly spoken about the importance of hard work, togetherness and maintaining high standards within the dressing room.

Speaking recently about the atmosphere around the squad, Choudhury said: “The lads have really come back in refreshed… it feels like a family where everyone is willing to fight for each other.” He also added: “We’re going to need it this year.”
Martin has already made it clear that commitment, discipline and intensity will be key features of his Leicester side, and Choudhury’s attitude in training appears to fit perfectly with those demands.
The Bangladesh international looked eager to absorb every instruction as the Foxes continue preparing for the new season under their new manager.
With competition for places expected to increase over the coming weeks, Choudhury will be hoping his professionalism on and off the pitch earns him an important role in Martin’s plans as Leicester aim to build momentum ahead of the start of the campaign.
