The talented England youth international is training with Claudio Ranieri’s team.
Layton Ndukwu scores the first goal for Leicester City with a penalty
Leicester City have been in training today, ahead of their meeting with Crystal Palace in the Premier League this Saturday.
The Foxes go into the game full of confidence after their 1-0 win against FC Copenhagen in the Champions League this week – but needing a Premier League win.

That European fixture has however dented the training numbers slightly, with Claudio Ranieri having to pull in a talent from the youth-team to make up the numbers.
Leicester’s training session today included 18-year-old striker Layton Ndukwu.
The pacey trickster, who can also play out wide, is one of the stars of the youth-team at Leicester and a player the club have high hopes for going forward.
Most recently he has been playing from the left-wing and Leicester must be considering him for potential first-team football going forward.
Layton Ndukwu of England (R) scores their third goal
An England under-17 international, he has scored six goals in 17 appearances at that level in his career so far – including a hat-trick against Cyprus in October 2014.
His contract at the King Power is due to expire in the summer so he will hope his promotion to the first-team is an indicator of potential faith in his ability and, hopefully, a new contract.
