The talented England youth international is still waiting for his debut.

Leicester City take on Everton in their Boxing Day fixture this week and will go into the game trying to build on their spirited draw against Stoke City.

With that in mind they have been hard at work this festive week preparing for the fixture.

There was one interesting participant in the Leicester training session however – as teenage sensation Layton Ndukwu continues to be called into action with the first-team squad.

The 18-year-old talent has trained with the first-team already this season but is still waiting for his first action with the first-team at the King Power Stadium.

He has impressed in the UEFA Youth League this season and has also caught the eye of suitors. Recently it was reported by the Daily Mail that Leicester were having to fight off interest in the 18-year-old’s services from both West Brom and Aston Villa.

The left-winger, who can also play as a striker, may not be on the cusp of first-team action just yet.

But if the hype around him is to be believed, it is surely only a matter of time before he gets his Leicester debut.
