Town boss Paul Lambert says January signing Levi Andoh was worth having a longer-term look at after impressing him in his trial games for the U23s.
The 19-year-old right-back (pictured above left), who can also play elsewhere in defence and in midfield, will put pen to paper on an 18-month deal once the transfer window opens in January.
"I’ve seen him in a few games with the kids and I thought he was pretty decent,” Lambert said of the Amsterdam-born, Leicester-raised youngster, who featured for the U23s in the October games against Bolton and Cardiff.
"He just a baby still, still learning. But when I saw him in a few games, he was definitely worth having another look at.”
Lambert believes it’s important for young players to nail down a single position as their primary role.
"Versatility can kill you at times so if he can nail a position down whether it’s centre-half or right-back or whatever,” he added.
"It’s a difficult one that because he’s still young and developing but what I’ve seen he’s definitely useful.”
