Chipolopolo forward Patson Daka says Leicester City will have to take each game as it comes in this season’s English Premier League.
Daka believes the Foxes have to take it one game at a time and then they can determine where they will end up come May.
The former Redbull Salzburg forward was speaking in an interview with Leicester City media following the Foxes’ hard fought 2-2 draw against Brighton and Hove Albion.
“We’re not getting ahead of ourselves and focusing on each game to determine where we will be at the end of the season, because if we get ahead of ourselves, we’re going to lose ourselves,” Daka said.
“We just have to focus on each game step by step and, at the end of it, we’ll see where we’re at.”
Leicester will come up against a familiar face in Harvey Barnes; this afternoon as the former Foxes Academy graduate plays against his boyhood club for the first time.
Although good to catch up with his former team-mate, it will be business as usual once they step over the white line.
The 26-year-old continued: “It’s always nice to meet with old team-mates, it’s special. It’s a good feeling to share those moments that we shared before. I’m looking forward to it. Hopefully we can have a chat after.”
Daka made his long-awaited return from injury last month, coming off the bench for the third consecutive fixture in the 3-1 win over West Ham United, scoring late on to seal three points on Filbert Way, before also making an appearance in the late draw with Brighton & Hove Albion.
Providing another attacking option, Daka is keen to take on board as much as he can from Jamie Vardy, who has proved to be a threat once more upon his return to the Premier League this term, finding the net on six occasions.
“He takes good care of himself,” the striker said on Vardy. “He knows his body; he knows what he is supposed to do and he’s such an inspiration. Having him around, he’s been playing at this level for a long time and he’s still here. There’s a lot we can learn from him. He’s such an amazing guy. Outside of the pitch, he’s a great human being.”
City are currently five points ahead of the relegation zone, have Wolverhampton Wanderers to play in their final game pre-Christmas, with Liverpool and Manchester City both to come in the busy festive schedule.
