Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri unsure when £7.5m signing Bartosz Kaputska will be ready for Premier League

Claudio Ranieri has admitted he does not know when £7.5million summer signing Bartosz Kapustka will be ready for Premier League action.

Kapustka, 19, arrived in August after shining for Poland at Euro 2016 but has yet to play a single minute of first-team football and only been named twice by Ranieri in any matchday squad.

Ranieri rates Kapustka’s intelligence but believes the winger needs to adjust his game to suit the English top-flight by improving his physicality, and a January loan is being considered.
