Premier League: Leicester manager Nigel Pearson backing Andrej Kramaric to fire
Thursday 22 January 2015 12:43, UK
Leicester manager Nigel Pearson is hopeful his side can become more creative to provide chances for new striker Andrej Kramaric.
The Croatia star, 23, made his Foxes debut on Saturday when he came on for the last 25 minutes of the 1-0 home defeat to Stoke and despite struggling to impose himself, Pearson is confident he will put away the chances when they come.
He's a goalscorer and his record bears that out, but we didn't really create too much in the last 20 minutes or so.
"There's going to be interest, of course, because of his arrival," said Pearson.
"He's a goalscorer and his record bears that out, but we didn't really create too much in the last 20 minutes or so.
"It's always difficult to judge a player when he's going into a losing situation and we're not being particularly creative. It's never easy to quantify what he's capable of.
"But I'm pleased he's had some pitch time and experienced playing in front of our own crowd. That was important."
Kramaric may make his first start for Leicester in Saturday's FA Cup fourth round clash with Spurs at White Hart Lane.
