Brentford boss namechecks Nigeria striker as he discusses Leicester stars to be wary of

Eight games into their maiden Premier League campaign, Brentford have surprised everyone with their performances, with wins against Arsenal and West Ham, and deservedly took a point of Liverpool.

With Thomas Frank in the dugout, Brentford have been involved in some of the most entertaining matches in the top-flight this season.

The Danish football manager is aware of the faces in Leicester City's attack his players must be wary of, including Nigeria star Kelechi Iheanacho.

Asked at Friday's pre-match press conference what he makes of Patson Daka and if he's ready for the Zambian, Frank replied : "Of course, we have followed him (Daka) especially leading into this game, we know he is a player we need to be very aware of.

"But let's see what he is doing, Brendan, for the game on Sunday if it's going to be Vardy and Iheanacho or Daka. We don't know.

"We are prepared for all three of them and they have so much quality and threat going forward that we need to be aware of".

Iheanacho has either scored or assisted in each of his last five games in all competitions for Leicester City.

The 2013 U17 World Cup winner got on the scoresheet vs Millwall in the Carabao Cup, netted against Crystal Palace and provided assists in games against Burnley, Manchester United and Spartak Moscow.
