Harry Souttar left Leicester City supporters talking after full-time with a gesture that quickly caught the attention of everyone around him.
The Australian defender, who has been working hard to impress during pre-season, stayed behind on the pitch after the final whistle instead of heading straight down the tunnel with the rest of the squad.
His actions immediately sparked conversation among fans watching from the stands.
Several Leicester players acknowledged the supporters before making their way off, but Souttar’s decision to spend extra time interacting with those who had travelled stood out.
It was a simple moment, yet one that reflected his appreciation for the backing the team has received throughout pre-season.
One teammate who appeared amused by the scene was club captain Hamza Choudhury.
His reaction said plenty as he watched the defender continue to engage with supporters, sharing smiles and exchanging a few words before eventually leaving the pitch.

Souttar’s future has been the subject of speculation throughout the summer, but moments like this have only strengthened the connection he has built with Leicester fans.
Regardless of the transfer rumours, the centre-back has continued to conduct himself professionally whenever called upon by Russell Martin.
For supporters, it was another reminder of the character within the squad as preparations for the new season continue. Souttar’s gesture may not have changed the result, but it certainly left a lasting impression on everyone who witnessed it.
