Leshabala is primarily a winger but can play anywhere in midfield/attack.
Leshabela plays as a winger but can also tuck inside and his path to a starting place is blocked by a number of experienced internationals at the Foxes‚ though he can point to the likes of Hamza Choudhury and Ben Chilwell who have made a successful step up to the first team from the Under-23s in the last few years.
Leicster fans posts, from about 2 years ago.
liked how much he put himself about. Didn't have long enough to do more than that really.
He didn't stand out at U23, there were always a few better players in each match he played, It didn't even look as though he was a championship loan level.
He Won’t go very far with the company he keeps
Was on the bench vs Southampton in the cup in December
Usually a right winger, but also capable of playing as a number 10
Scored a good goal for the U23s against Forest at about 1:20 on the video below

Strange that he completely went off the radar after his pre-season last year where he looked pretty impressive.
Looked better than Tavares but to be fair Leshabela played against the worst PL peformance (from a team with 11 men) I have seen since we came up. Good sign of things to come.
Played a couple nice balls and got about the place. Wasn't afraid to get on the ball. Very positive to see
Every time I see the lad in these little cameos, he just looks like he belongs. I think he has a good future ahead of him but I cant see how he gets in our team with the talent ahead of him available.
He's always looked a pretty solid player in his pre season appearances. Great that he's got a chance today but he shouldn't be still knocking about and not on loan.
I saw a lot of him in pre season 2019 / 2020 and the lad has a bright future
He is solid in the middle of the park and can pick a pass but he shores up the midfield. His biggest asset for me is he is a pragmatic player, when things are going right or wrong he is level headed and keeps it simple.
I liked his positional sense and decision-making (as you said, level-headed), positive and unafraid.
Thought he looked really good tbh
In my opinion wasn’t on long enough and didn’t do anything that made me sit up. Kid looked ok. If anything he seemed to lack pace on a couple of occasions. Needs more time on the pitch.
For a 19 year old that was almost the sort of performance that makes you want to say "revelation."
Shame he didn't score, he would have earned himself that goal if he had. Really solid all round performance and did not look out of place playing in a 3 with Tielemans and Mendy.
Yeah that's my feeling. Let him "do a Barnes" for a solid Championship team. I think he could do very well for someone based on that and come back with a lot of match experience next season.
Last night was the first time I saw him and I was very impressed with his composure and decision making.
Blacburn were looking at taking him on loan.
Luton wanted him too.
