AdminThere has been plenty of encouragement for Leicester City supporters during the early stages of pre-season, and one player who has caught the eye is Will Alves.
The young midfielder has looked sharp throughout training, showing confidence on the ball and a willingness to take responsibility whenever he has been involved.
His movement, close control and energy have all stood out as Russell Martin continues to assess his squad ahead of the new campaign.
Many fans have been impressed by what they have seen so far, with one simple verdict capturing the mood: “Will Alves looks very very good.”
Although pre-season performances should always be judged with caution, Alves has given himself every chance of making a stronger impression on the new head coach.
Martin has made it clear that places in his squad will be earned on merit, and youngsters who perform consistently will be given opportunities.
The midfielder appears determined to seize that opportunity. He has looked composed in possession, pressed with intensity out of possession and shown the technical quality that fits the style Martin wants his Leicester side to play.
There is still a long way to go before the Championship season begins, but Alves has already provided an early reminder of his potential.
If he can maintain this level throughout pre-season, he could force his way into Martin’s plans and become one of the brightest stories of Leicester City’s summer preparations.
