Is Mavididi a player to build around for next season?
Former Leicester coach Mike Stowell highlighted winger Stephy Mavididi as one of Leicester's standout performers in Saturday's draw with to the When You're Smiling Podcast, Stowell said: "He was a joy to watch.

Some of these players will be fighting for contracts and fighting for their place next season."Listen to the full discussion here
