Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Daka arrived from RB Salzburg last summer for a whopping \u00a323 million and has fit in effortlessly. He came to Leicester with a solid reputation, having scored 27 goals in 28 league appearances in the Austrian Bundesliga previous season.<\/p>\n

Since arriving at the King Power Stadium, he has scored nine goals in 19 games, including a quadruple against Spartak Moscow in the Europa League back in October.<\/p>\n

Daka was compared to Jamie Vardy in the weeks leading up to his signing because of his speed and ability to run off the shoulder of the last defender.<\/p>\n

Jamie Vardy, though, is still thriving at the top level so there was no immediate pressure on Daka to come in and produce results immediately. He has done just that, amassing a terrific record in his debut half-season in English football.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been an amazing addition,\u201d Fuchs told GGRecon. \u201cHe started off by scoring four goals in the Europa League. He has a similar profile to Jamie Vardy in terms of pace. They\u2019re both very quick and it suits the way that Leicester plays.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fuchs continues, \u201cAt Leicester, your work rate has to be spot on defensively, because Leicester wins with team performances. Over the years they\u2019ve done really well with recruitment, but Daka has been a great signing in my eyes. There might be a time, maybe sooner rather than later, where Jamie Vardy won\u2019t be there anymore or won\u2019t be able to play at the same level anymore \u2013 even though I hope he plays on for another 20 years.\u201d Finally he says, \u201cTo have someone like Daka to replace him when he\u2019s not available is ideal.\u201d<\/p>\n
