Leicester City: 'He could follow Mane's route to stardom' - the rise of Patson Daka

Red Bull Salzburg boast a very impressive list of former players who have gone on to make a major impact in Europe's top leagues.

Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland and Liverpool trio Sadio Mane, Naby Keita and Takumi Minamino are just a few Salzburg graduates who have established themselves among Europe's elite.

Zambia striker Patson Daka will now hope to become the latest player from the Austrian side to shine on a bigger stage after signing for Leicester on a five-year-deal, thought to be worth £22m, earlier this summer.

Outside of his own country and the Austrian league, where he has been playing since 2017, the 22-year-old arrives as a relative unknown.
