AdminLeicester City have secured the future of one of their brightest academy talents after the club’s Under-18s captain signed a new long-term contract.
The agreement represents another important step in Leicester’s commitment to developing homegrown players as Russell Martin begins shaping the club’s future.
The highly-rated youngster has impressed throughout his time at Seagrave, establishing himself as a leader within the academy and earning the captain’s armband for the Under-18s.
The player is Alpha Diallo, who has continued to make excellent progress since joining Leicester’s academy.
The talented defender is regarded as one of the club’s most promising prospects, with his composure on the ball, physical presence and leadership qualities making him a standout performer in the youth ranks.
Leicester have placed increasing emphasis on rewarding their best academy players with new contracts as they strengthen the pathway to the first team.
The club believes keeping its top young talents is a vital part of its long-term plans, and Diallo’s new deal is another sign of that commitment.
For Diallo, the contract is recognition of the progress he has made over the past few seasons and an opportunity to continue his development at the Foxes.
Leicester will now hope the Under-18s captain can build on his impressive performances and eventually follow in the footsteps of previous academy graduates by earning a place in the senior squad in the years ahead.
