The goals are a delight for Puel though, and in spite of his agitation praised the “mentality” of the young Nigerian.

 

After the 1-1 result against Valencia in Wednesday’s pre-season game at the King Power Stadium, Puel said that, “I think he came back with a good mentality, of course he cannot play for a long time at the moment with good fitness levels.

 

“I’m happy about this, but we needed to make attention and protect them with rotation and to work on their fitness step by step. We will see what’s happened,” Puel expressed.
