Brendan Rodgers has revealed that Harry Souttar has already made an impact on his Leicester squad as the Foxes boss delighted in the arrival of the Socceroos star.

Souttar, 24, sealed a January deadline day switch to the Premier League club after a $26million (£15m) fee with Championship outfit Stoke City was agreed.

The Australian defender caught the eye at the World Cup with a number of imperious performances, and Leicester manager Rodgers lavished the 24-year-old with praise when asked about his new man ahead of their match with Aston Villa this weekend.
