Leicester news: Mike Stowell on Stephy Mavididi

Former Leicester coach Mike Stowell highlighted winger Stephy Mavididi as one of Leicester’s standout performers in Saturday’s draw with Brighton.

Speaking to the When You’re Smiling Podcast, Stowell said: “He was a joy to watch. As supporters, it’s not all about hard tackling, strong challenges and running hard. You want to see exciting flair players and he was that player today.

“Where has that been? Has he been under the weather, has he had a fall out with the manager? We’re guessing here, but based on that performance, you pick him every week.

“Performances like that give you hope for next season. When some of the players like Casey McAteer and Mavididi put in performances like that, you think about building on that with those players for next season. Some of these players will be fighting for contracts and fighting for their place next season.”
