Newcastle and Brentford are keeping tabs on Leicester starlet Amani Richards as he impresses against former club Arsenal... but Bundesliga interest in 18-year-old is a threat to Premier League suitors

Leicester teenager Amani Richards is the subject of mounting interest after impressing against former club Arsenal in midweek.

Forward Richards came back to haunt his old club by scoring both Foxes goals in their under-18 meeting with Arsenal with scouts from Newcastle and Brentford among those watching on.

German duo Wolfsburg and Freiburg were also present along with talent spotters from clubs in Holland and Belgium.

Richards has been in impressive form at youth level for Leicester this season, scoring 14 goals and setting up eight more in 24 appearances for their under-18s.
