Midfielder Danny Drinkwater has hailed the impact new signing Esteban Cambiasso is having on Leicester already.

The former Inter Milan and Real Madrid has won several high profile honours during his illustrious career, all of which has made him a big attraction at the King Power Stadium.

Fellow midfielder Drinkwater insists that having such a high profile star around the training ground will only benefit his team-mates.

"He is a legend," Drinkwater told the Leicester Mercury

"It is a great signing by the club, his record speaks for itself and he seems more than willing to help us.

"I am over the moon he has come to the club and, hopefully, he can help me a lot.

"We have only had a few training sessions with him so far.

"You can tell he is class. He seems willing to talk to us and help us and, as his English gets better, I am sure he will be able to do so more and more."

The former Manchester United youngster starred for The Foxes in their Championship title success last season, and insisted he is ready to step up to the next level.

"I just want to test myself this season," Drinkwater added.

"I really want to show I can make the step up, get my feet back and start the season with a bang, hopefully with a few wins.
