Exciting young striker Jeff Schlupp will become a great asset to Leicester City, manager Nigel Pearson believes.
The 20-year-old Ghana international, who has risen through the club's youth ranks, has spearheaded the City attack in the last two games.
He has scored twice in their last five fixtures – the only striker to score in the last nine matches.
Schlupp, who has also played at left-back and in midfield this season, spent several weeks training with Manchester United during the campaign.
He is expected to start again tonight when City take on Bolton at the King Power Stadium and Pearson said Schlupp would be a handful for any defence.
"Jeff has had an interesting season regardless of whatever happens in the club's season," said Pearson.
"For him as an individual and him as a young player who is developing at our club, it has been a good year for him.
"He has had some really good experiences. He has played in various positions and currently he is in a position he probably sees as his long-term position.
"As a manager, it is nice to have versatile players.
"There is no doubt Jeff has attributes which make him a handful to play against.
"I am very pleased we have kept faith in his development and he is a really bright prospect for the club. He is enjoying his football."
Pearson admits his side probably have to treat each of their final four league games as a cup tie, and that means having plenty of attacking players on the pitch.
Schlupp featured in a three-man attack along with Chris Wood and David Nugent during Friday night's 2-2 draw with Birmingham City, and Pearson said his side have to take the initiative over the final four games.
"That is what we have been trying to do," said Pearson.
"Unfortunately, it hasn't borne enough fruit.
"We have to do everything we can to win our last four games because we can still make inroads.
"We took a calculated risk (against Birmingham) in not always tracking back on their full-backs and created a number of chances from that.
"I thought it was important that we had as many players on the pitch who are capable of scoring goals."
