Russell Martin reveals how Leicester City convinced new signings Tommy Watson and Wes Burns 🗣️

Leicester City manager Russell Martin has opened up on the conversations that helped persuade the club’s latest recruits to join his project at the King Power Stadium.

Martin revealed that he personally travelled to Brighton to meet Tommy Watson several weeks ago, with the Leicester boss keen to explain his plans and outline the role the young player could have within his squad.

The manager said the meeting took place over coffee, giving him the opportunity to speak directly with Watson and explain why he believed Leicester was the right destination for him.

Martin also confirmed that Watson continued training with Brighton while negotiations were ongoing, with the player remaining professional until the transfer was finally completed.

‘I went to Brighton a few weeks ago to speak with Watson. We had coffee together, and I explained the project to him. He kept training there until everything was finalized. It was similar with Burns’

Martin’s comments also suggest that the Leicester boss was similarly involved in bringing Wes Burns to the club, highlighting the personal approach being taken as he continues reshaping his squad.

The manager will now hope both Watson and Burns can quickly settle into life at Leicester and make a strong impact as the Foxes prepare for the new campaign.
