𝙇𝙤𝙪𝙞𝙨 𝙋𝙖𝙜𝙚 🔎 The 18-year-old Man United tried desperately to sign for £15m, who has stayed at Leicester and is more than holding his own in League One this season. A modern-day central midfielder who is comfortable in both defensive and attacking phases. The 6ft Leicester lad has the physicality and technical ability to drive smoothly through opposition lines. He also possesses an impressive level of tactical understanding for a player of his age, alongside the composure under pressure and vision to pick out key forward passes. He began his youth football career at Lutterworth Athletic before moving to Leicester City's academy aged nine and never looked back. He was part of Leicester’s U16 Premier League Cup-winning side before being named Academy Player of the Season at just 16, having played for both their U18s and U21s. Page made his first-team debut at the start of last season, won the Championship's Apprentice of the Season award and has since become a key player in Russell Martin's team, alongside fellow academy graduates Sammy Braybrooke (who we profiled in September) and Will Alves. This season, only three Leicester players have played more minutes than Page, and he's registered three assists while playing as their midfield metronome. He leads League One for through balls per 90 and averages more progressive carries per 90 than any other League One midfielder, frankly ridiculous for an 18-year-old! His rise has been just as rapid for England, where he made his first Three Lions appearances for the U17s in 2024 before featuring at both the U17 Euros and U17 World Cup last year. This year, he captained the U18s vs Cyprus but has predominantly been playing for Ben Futcher's U19s. Like some of his England teammates - Ryan McAidoo, Luca Williams-Barnett and Max Dowman - we wouldn't be surprised to see young Louis make the jump and play Premier League minutes in the next 18 months.

In an era of City fans thinking moaning on a Podcast gets you anywhere, I'm more of a put yourself out and sort it out. Stayed for an hour after the Stevenage game last night to have a word with Russell Martin,I'll let you judge🤷#LTID
