The Story in 60 Seconds

Leicester City striker Emil Riis is already proving his worth following his deadline-day permanent move from Bristol City, having scored his fifth goal for the club against Bromley. Manager Russell Martin highlighted that the 28-year-old was his primary transfer target all summer, turning down opportunities to play at higher levels to join Leicester.

Josh Holland writes that the forward has scored four goals in six League One appearances, offering more reliability than past options like Patson Daka and Jordan Ayew. Having arrived alongside Admir Bristric for a reported fee of around £2m, Riis is described as an early bargain who is winning over supporters.
