Signed during the January transfer window by Leicester City from Gazelec Ajaccio, Fousseni Diabaté (who played the Toulon Tournament in 2016), has enjoyed a dream debut with the Foxes on Saturday.

The 22-year-old Malian forward has started the FA Cup fourth round game against Peterborough (5-1) and has found the net twice. Except these two goals, Diabaté was bright throughout the game and posed a constant threat to the Peterborough defence.

'He has good attributes to play in the Premier League: pace, a good engine. He can make good penetration but also good combinations with his team-mates. IIt was a good game for him to show his quality. Now, he has to continue this good work on the pitch and in training, and step-by-step we will see if we can give him some game time in the Premier League”, said the Leicester City coach Claude Puel after the game.
