New Leicester boss makes claim about Rangers-linked Conor Coady

New Leicester City boss Marti Cifuentes says he liked what he saw from Rangers-linked Conor Coady in a friendly win over Zalaegerszeg on Saturday. 

The central defender captained his side from the start as Jordan Ayew's second-half strike proved crucial. 

Coady has been linked with a move to Ibrox this summer.

Speaking after his team's 1-0 win, Cifuentes commented on the Englishman's display. 

He said [RecordSport]: "There are a lot of positive things we can bring with us. There are a lot of things to improve, which is normal at this stage.

"I like the intention, the attitude, and the application of the team. I like that we wanted to be from day one, a team that is dominant and wants to use possession to attack. The timing of the movement and the rotations, everything will come.

"I like, as well, to see the young boys. I’m very happy with what I see from Jeremy, from Louis, from Evans, from all the young guys.

"And, as well, the application of the experienced players. I liked what I saw from Conor, from Jannik. It’s an interesting mix."

Coady is under contract at the King Power Stadium until 2026, meaning a transfer fee would have to be negotiated for Rangers to land his services this summer.
