Leicester City's record signing Leo Ulloa is a "top-class footballer" according to winger Marc Albrighton.
Argentinian striker Ulloa, bought for £8million from Brighton last month, scored his first goals in a City shirt on Tuesday with a double in the 3-1 win at Rotherham.
The 28-year-old had failed to make a mark in his previous pre-season friendly appearances against Everton, Walsall and Preston, but his performance at the New York Stadium gave City fans a glimpse of his qualities.
Fellow summer signing Albrighton was full of praise for Ulloa, believing he has shown why the club were so keen to acquire his services.
"Ulloa's looked brilliant," he said. "You can tell by his touch that he's a top-class footballer.
"Everything will come with it. It does take time to adjust but he'll have no problems in doing that.
"He's a top-class footballer, he proved that last year with Brighton and he'll be a good addition to the squad."
Albrighton, who joined on a free transfer from Aston Villa in the summer, has been with City since the start of pre-season training. The 24-year-old feels that he has settled into life in Leicester and hopes to kick on in the final week of pre-season in order to secure a starting berth in City's opening Premier League game against Everton a week on Saturday. "It's fantastic how I've settled in," he said.
"You're a bit worried at the start with how everyone's going to take you, but the club have treated me, my family and everyone around me so well and it just makes us all feel so comfortable.
"First impressions count for a lot. You get judged a lot in your first few games at a new club, I'm sure.
"If I can impress in pre-season then, hopefully, I can get into the starting line-up for the Everton game on the first day of the season."
Having played 86 league games for Villa, Albrighton has experienced considerably more Premier League football than most of City's squad.
Only Paul Konchesky and Matthew Upson have more appearances in the top flight.
Although many of City's key players are embarking on their debut season in the Premier League, Albrighton believes they are on the right track for a successful campaign.
He said: "They seem to be coping well so far. When the season starts, if there's any opinions that need to be put out there, then everyone will put them out there and I'll be included in that.
"We'll wait and see what the season brings, but everyone's up for it and everyone is looking good.
"Everyone is getting the game-time they need and I think we're giving a good account of ourselves."
