LISTEN: The De Cordova-Reid Impact

  • Published

Former Leicester City striker Steve Howard says that Foxes forward Bobby De Cordova-Reid has given boss Marti Cifuentes "a headache" when it comes to team selection.

The Jamaica international scored his first league goal of the season to level the score against Norwich City on Saturday, before Jordan James netted the winner for the Foxes in added time.

"He's an experienced lad, talks really well, you need people like that in your side when you're going through your barren spells and when your confidence is a bit low," Howard told BBC Radio Leicester.

"He's now given Cifuentes a bit of headache, which is great.

"He's now thinking 'well, I've produced for 15 to 20 minutes like you've asked me to. I've scored a goal, the team needs to score goals because it's obviously struggling in that department. Put me on and I'll show you what to do'."

Leicester have scored 18 goals so far this season, the third lowest in the top 12.
