Leicester Offer Academy Star First Professional Contract After Brilliant Season

Leicester City have offered 18-year-old Nigerian wonderkid Calvin Ughelumba a new deal, according to Allnigeriasoccer.com.

The left-back currently plays for the Foxes' Under-18 side and has made 15 appearances for the side so far this season. He is considered to be one of the best full-backs representing a Premier League academy.

Per Allnigeriasoccer's report, the player will be offered a one-year deal with the option to extend at the end of next season. If Ughhelumba does put pen to paper, it will be the very first on a professional deal. But if not, he won't be at the club next term, given his current deal runs up until the end of this season.
