Former Premier League champs Leicester City have handed a trial to the skillful former Nigeria U17 international Habib Makanjuola.
The attacking midfielder featured for the Foxes U23 squad in their 3-1 loss to National League North side Leamington at the Phillips 66 Community Stadium on Friday, July 14.
In Makanjuola's bid to earn a contract, he did himself good by scoring the only goal for Leicester City in the first half after coming off the bench.
