It's one way to make an impression - score a hat-trick on your senior debut. That's what Leicester's Joe Dodoo did against Bury last night.

And, after knocking his League One side out of the League Cup, Bury boss David Flitcroft says, not surprisingly, that he may look to sign the 20-year-old on loan.

"He's left a massive impression on us and I'll certainly be trying to chat to (Leicester manager) Claudio Ranieri," Flitcroft told BBC Radio Manchester. "Forget his ability, I love his character.

"I love the way he did his work, went about his work, celebrated his goal. He feels the emotion of football and he looks a real threat."

But whether the Foxes will be prepared to let him go after last night's exploits remains to be seen..

Fans of German second division club Union Berlin are planning a 15-minute silence at the start of their home game against RB Leipzig on Friday to protest against the big-spending club backed by energy drink maker Red Bull.

They have moved up from the fifth tier in 2009 to the second tier last year, winning promotion three times in five seasons, and are signing some of the country's top players.
