Rodgers can't wait to see 'versatile' Lookman flourish at Leicester City

The Anglo-Nigerian has been a transfer target for the ex-Celtic boss since his youth days at Charlton Athletic

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers is looking forward to seeing Ademola Lookman shine at the club with his versatility and goalscoring ability.

Lookman returned to England on August 31 to join the Foxes on a season-long loan after finding it difficult at RB Leipzig.

The Nigerian descent spent the 2020-21 season on loan at Fulham and he contributed four goals in 34 matches which were not enough to keep the Cottagers in the Premier League.
