Leicester City hero Christian Fuchs believes Patson Daka is an "amazing addition" to Brendan Rodgers' squad.

Daka, signed last summer from RB Salzburg for £23million, has scored nine goals in 19 appearances.

"He's been an amazing addition," Fuchs told GGRecon.

"He started off by scoring four goals in the Europa League. He has a similar profile to Jamie Vardy in terms of pace. They're both very quick and it suits the way that Leicester plays.

"At Leicester, your work rate has to be spot on defensively, because Leicester wins with team performances. Over the years they've done really well with recruitment, but Daka has been a great signing in my eyes.

"There might be a time, maybe sooner rather than later, where Jamie Vardy won't be there anymore or won't be able to play at the same level anymore - even though I hope he plays on for another 20 years.

"To have someone like Daka to replace him when he's not available is ideal."
