Leicester City have been blessed with plenty of talent from their academy over the years.
Hamza Choudhury, Kasey McAteer, Harvey Barnes and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall have all graduated from the Foxes academy and have gone on to forge successful careers.
There are plenty of stars waiting in the wings to get their chance too and under the guidance of new Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, the next generation could have the chance to thrive on the big stage.
With that said, here are three young stars who could break into the first team and make a name for themselves at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester City unveil their new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy on November 29, 2024 in Eindhoven, Netherlands.

Described as one of the best young talents in England, Louis Page is making waves at Leicester.
Page was named as one of the 20 best young talents at a Premier League club and has been a regular in the Under 18 and U21 squads.
The youngster plays in a box-to-box midfield role and has an engine that replicates title-winning star N’Golo Kante.
As with most players in the modern day, Page is confident on the ball and loves to drive forward to bring the team further up the pitch.

He may need a bit more time before starting for the first team, but it won’t be long before Van Nistelrooy is taking notice of him.

Jeremy Monga is one of the youngest players in the Leicester squad and featured for the U23s squad in their EFL Trophy campaign aged 15.
Monga has been watched by plenty of Premier League rivals and it feels like it will only be a matter of time before he is knocking on the door of the first team.
With Abdul Fatawu out for the rest of the season there is an opportunity for Monga to make an early impression and Van Nistelrooy may be tempted to play a wildcard option and give him minutes.

The 16-year-old has been scoring goals for fun at youth level and one thing Leicester are lacking is a proven goalscorer.
Facundo Buonanotte, Jamie Vardy and Jordan Ayew are all currently on four goals for the season whereas Jake Evans has four goals in six Premier League 2 games and two in three U18 matches.
One report has tipped Evans to be the next Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Evans impressed against Notts County in the EFL Trophy fixture, imposing himself against defenders significantly older than him and was unlucky to not get himself on the scoresheet.
