Jayden Joseph is next Leicester City wonderkid on brink after Van Basten goal and loan 'speedbump' | Leicestershire Live Jayden Joseph is next Leicester City wonderkid on brink after Van Basten goal and loan 'speedbump' Inside Jayden Joseph's loan spell at League Two side Tranmere Rovers after going from being part of Ruud van Nistelrooy's training group to scoring volleys like Marco van Basten Josh Holland Leicester City correspondent 07:00, 04 Jun 2026 Tranmere Rovers' 3-1 victory over Cheltenham on April 21 proved to be pivotal in keeping the club in the Football League. Their saviour, Leicester City youngster Jayden Joseph. The 20-year-old joined the League Two side in August after impressing City during pre-season. Joseph was used by Andy King in the friendlies against Peterborough United and OH Leuven prior to Marti Cifuentes' arrival 12 months ago. After training with the first-team with the club in the Premier League, as well as being selected by Ruud van Nistelrooy to travel to Bournemouth and Newcastle United, Joseph, who joined City from Manchester City four years ago, moved to Prenton Park for his first experience of senior football. Joseph played 35 times for Tranmere, including 30 league appearances. He scored in his third game against Newport County before an ankle injury in January forced him to return to Seagrave for rehab. The four people in charge of Leicester City's transfers this summer as rebuild awaits 'Needless gamble' - Leicester City transfer link emerges with Sheffield Wednesday battle Speaking to LeicestershireLive, Tranmere first-team coach, Andy Parkinson, provided an insight on how the Foxes youngster enjoyed life away from City. "Where we’re from, our fans demand hard work, application and appetite and Jayden displayed all of them,” he said. "We knew that when we brought him in because of the work we did behind-the-scenes, speaking to people that have worked with him and his family, we knew he would be ready for the challenges to put full application in his first loan - which he did. “We struggled, particularly towards the end of the season for results, there was also a change of manager. JJ [Joseph] picked up an injury which meant he had to go back to Leicester for his rehab and then [he] came back to the club. "He was really challenged with the things that he faced last season so that’ll be really good for his development. There’s a few, I would call them, speed bumps in the road for him to navigate and challenges that will lay in front of him that he’s got to get past and overcome. He’ll be stronger and better for that." He added: “We played a back five in the early parts of the season and he played as a right wing-back. He can also play as a right-back in a back four, off the left, he did that with Leicester U21s, and as an inverted full-back as well. "His best form for us was towards the end of the season as a right winger/right midfielder when he was playing slightly more advanced and able to do his best work in the final third. He scored a couple of goals towards the end of the season, so he did his best work higher up. "He does have the capabilities to defend 1v1, he’s got great pace, a good engine and he’s developing the physical side of the game which he’s going to need to have a long career. Matt Jones, author of two Tranmere Rovers books and broadcaster for talkSPORT, joined Parkinson in praising Joseph's application during the loan. “I was really impressed with Jayden at Tranmere," he said. "He got forward well, got the ball into the box and brought pace into the side, which was crucial because it was something they didn’t really have in other areas. "When he was out of the side in the early spring/late winter, it was really noticeable and how much of a lack of dynamism that was in the side." When Joseph returned to Merseyside, the club were facing a possible relegation out of the National League. In the final seven games, he started them all and the victory at Cheltenham proved to be vital. "When he came back in towards the end of the campaign, he was absolutely pivotal in a 3-1 win at Cheltenham when he scored, if he meant it, an absolute worldly goal," Jones added. "I’m not sure that he did, but if he did it was sensational. A dipping Marco van Basten-like volley at the back post. He grabbed himself an assist or two as well and if they hadn’t won that game, Tranmere would have gone down. Content cannot be displayed without consent "Him coming back into the side played a big part in that result. It’s a shame that he couldn't play more due to the injuries that he had in the campaign. Hopefully in the future he can use the experience to help him kick on." After that goal against Cheltenham, Joseph appeared to confirm he did mean it. "I seen it [the ball] coming over and I knew I didn't have much time, so I hit it and it went well," he said. "I had the goal in my eyeline so didn't necessarily look. I just hit it." Inside the club, the feeling was that Joseph found his best form upon returning from the setback. “His best form was post-injury, so when he came back he found some real consistent performances and helped the club stay in the division," Parkinson explained. "That happens with a lot of young players, they get used to the environment, meeting new people and playing with new players. He’s got from playing with the Under-18s and 21s to playing with men, which is another challenge as well. "The physicality is more difficult when you’re playing in the EFL. So all of these things make it difficult, initially, for these players, but also, if they’ve got the right application and attitude, these are the challenges that they overcome and you tend to see their performances come strong towards the end of the season." The question City fans will want to know is if Joseph is ready to stake a claim at the King Power Stadium next season. Following their relegation to League One, several academy stars are expected to be integrated into the first-team as part of the club's revival. “I think he’ll stand out at that level. He’s ready," Jones explained. "I definitely think he’s ready to step up to League One level and I’ll be really intrigued to see how he does up there." For Parkinson, confidence should be high in the wing-back's mind to prove himself. When asked if Joseph is ready to be a regular at Leicester, he answered: “[It’s] difficult for me to say because I’m not in the Leicester environment and I don’t know what they’ve got in their squad, what their standards are and all these things. "In terms of me being a developer of young people and players over the last 15 years, he’s definitely got the credentials to play higher, that will be up to him if he achieves that. But the situation at Leicester with them dropping to League One might just play into his hands and allow him an opportunity. "Whether that would have happened had they been in the Championship, I’m not sure, but there’s probably an opportunity for him to stake his claim when he goes back for pre-season to have some improvement. "That might not be the case for him just yet, he might need another loan, but he’s probably ready for another challenge and to see if he’s got the capabilities to play up a level." Ricardo Pereira's exit means City will look for a new right-back. Bade Aluko is a strong contender, but Joseph will be another looking to represent the Foxes in League One.

Joanne Vigor-Mungovin - Author Hidden Leicester · Follow **On This Day in Leicester History – 3 June 1882** Imagine Leicester on a warm Saturday afternoon in June 1882. The city was booming. Factory chimneys filled the skyline, thousands of people worked in the hosiery and boot-and-shoe industries, and the streets bustled with traders arriving for summer markets and fairs. But on this day, Leicester's residents had something entirely new to celebrate. **Abbey Park opened to the public.** Built on land beside the ruins of Leicester Abbey, the park was one of the most ambitious civic projects the city had ever undertaken. Just days earlier, the Prince and Princess of Wales had officially opened the park, and by 3 June crowds were flocking through its gates to see it for themselves. Victorian visitors wandered along newly laid pathways, admired ornamental gardens, and enjoyed views of the River Soar. For many working families, this was their first opportunity to enjoy a purpose-built public park designed purely for leisure and recreation. At a time when Leicester's factories were entering their busiest months of the year, Abbey Park offered something precious: fresh air, open space and a chance to escape the noise of the city. More than 140 years later, generations of Leicester people have picnicked on the same lawns, walked the same riverside paths and enjoyed one of the city's most treasured green spaces.

I'm fed up with them bringing Jenrick out every five minutes, like he's the future PM and the founder of all that is good about England and the World for sound bites. How the guy can keep a straight face when criticising other parties when he and the Conservatives are as culpable as anyone with is many U-turns on policy and party politics

Which City is that? Leicestershire charge for bulk collections and charge for building waste and paint taken too local tips sites from domestic premises.

I know, which is acceptable Brown or Black, it seemed like it was Black in the UK but Brown in the USA but just lately I watch UK TV programmes where Brown is used. I always try to avoid using either description. Obviously times change when I was a kid in pretend war games Krauts, Wops and like Vardy Japs, mostly derived from American war films were the norm after all it was still only 10 to 15 years after the war and many older people were still refusing to buy anything from either especially from Japan

Joanne Vigor-Mungovin - Author Hidden Leicester · Follow On this day - 31 May 1877, Leicester briefly found itself at the centre of world history. Just days after arriving in Britain, General Ulysses S. Grant—the victorious commander of the Union armies in the American Civil War and the 18th President of the United States—passed through Leicester during the opening stages of his celebrated world tour. As his train paused at Leicester station en route from Manchester to London, civic dignitaries gathered to welcome one of the most famous men on the planet. Crowds turned out to catch a glimpse of the American hero whose leadership had helped preserve the United States during its darkest hour. Grant's visit lasted only a short time, but it was a remarkable moment for Victorian Leicester. Here was a man whose reputation extended far beyond America: a former president, a military legend, and an international celebrity embarking on a journey that would take him across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. For a few minutes on that spring day in 1877, Leicester became a stopping place on one of the most famous world tours of the nineteenth century. .....and now you can't even go direct to and from Manchester from Leicester

Can you really blame them if it had been a case of racism they would have been vilified in the media with demands for them to be sacked which they're getting anyway from the opposing point of view. We're looking like we've going from institutional racism to believing it's always that for fear of being wrong. It's a lose / lose situation which is happening in most spheres of life due to the constant media clamour of righteousness and for punishment. Everyone knows best.

What I want from Leicester City as I return to the stands at the King Power Stadium | Leicestershire Live After a lengthy period of time reporting on the club, Jordan Blackwell has moved on to pastures new - this is what he hopes to see as he returns to his role as a Leicester City supporter What I want from Leicester City as I return to the stands at the King Power Stadium Story by Jordan Blackwell As a Leicester City reporter who swapped the stands for the press benches, there have been moments where instincts bubble up and burst through the professionalism. In my first away game for LeicestershireLive, the 3-2 victory at West Brom in the Great Escape, there was a mini celebration when Robert Huth nodded in the equaliser (the frantic response needed to Jamie Vardy’s last-minute winner put a stop to similar expressions of joy). From my seat in the press box, there was also an ill-advised appeal for handball at Arsenal – it was blatant from Rob Holding – while there was a personal breakout of applause when Ademola Lookman produced a superb piece of skill to flummox Tyrick Mitchell at Crystal Palace. Leicester City get Russell Martin appointment warning as 'lucrative' offer made Andy King pens emotional apology to Leicester City fans after relegation to League One Even this season, Louis Page’s burst between two men at Coventry prompted a “Go on, son”, which also acted as a reminder that I am now double the age of some first-team players. But being in this job does see those instincts lost, or maybe buried. The impact of results is lessened considerably, both positively and negatively. Lifting my head from my laptop in time to see Youri Tielemans’ strike whistle into the top corner at Wembley was joyous. Seeing the emotions on Andy King’s face after the 4-3 loss to Southampton this season left me gutted. But those are rarities. Most results get a neutral reaction. Related video: A look at Coventry City’s season as they prepare for Premier League football (Dailymotion) What has never gone away is a sense of duty. There’s an understanding that this is a privileged position. Reporting on City for the local paper is a role that many people would crave to have. I watched Emile Heskey and Tony Cottee score at my first game as a six-year-old. The years of being a season-ticket holder and obsessing over the stats felt like it was a life’s preparation for this job. Feelings of duty may seem ridiculous to those who have no involvement in the game. It’s just a job. It’s not life and death. But hopefully City fans and LeicestershireLive readers are the exact people who can understand why those emotions might take hold. It really does matter to people, and the job requires that this is understood. There is also a sense of guilt at leaving this position when the club are at a low ebb. I do question if the coverage has been too negative during this season, contributing to an atmosphere that makes it more difficult to get results. On the other side of the coin, I question if I should have been firmer in holding the club to account in the hope it might have sparked change that could have steered them away from the third tier. Working for a local newspaper, you want the city to thrive, and that includes a successful football team. That’s partly based on good results on the pitch, but it’s more about the state of things beyond that. Really, a successful club is one that stands as a pillar for its community and one that people are proud to follow. There are issues at City that simply stem from the nature of modern football and the idea of clubs as businesses, factors that affect every side. But there’s plenty more too. Turning to questionable cryptocasinos as shirt sponsors, plastering military propaganda on billboards in pre-season matches, ignoring opportunities to communicate regularly and openly with supporters around mistakes, lessons and plans for the future, failing to comply with financial rules and turning to banks for quick fixes on cashflow. It all devalues the club in the eyes of supporters. And even while my fan instincts were mostly lost at matches, those problems off the pitch still rankled. As I return to the stands at the King Power Stadium and look to rediscover those fan feelings, I know that the club addressing those issues and attempting to restore pride will bring those instincts back faster and more fully. I’m very grateful to have done this job and now look forward to celebrating goals again. See you on Filbert Way. Introducing the new face of our Leicester City coverage Josh Holland is the new face of our Leicester City coverage Josh Holland Leicester City correspondent 16:18, 01 Jun 2026 Hello, Leicester City fans, I just wanted to write a quick article introducing myself as the new LCFC writer for LeicestershireLive and The Leicester Mercury. As Jordan Blackwell returns to the stands, I find myself in the fortunate position to take over and fill the big shoes left in his place. I've been a supporter of the football club for as long as I can remember and getting the opportunity to cover Leicester City as a job is something I don't take for granted. My interest in football and the Foxes started, from what I can recount, with a 1-1 draw against Crewe Alexandra in 2005. Back then, the Craig Levein era was followed by relegation to League One. Triumph with Nigel Pearson, with the drama of Sven-Goran Eriksson's time at the club sandwiched in the middle, was where the screw started to turn. Football was something I wanted to do as a career. A short time coaching football at schools was followed by a leap of faith to go to University at the age of 21. Graduating and landing on my feet at this company has laid the foundation for me to do this job. Life has evolved around City for years now. If it wasn't my Grandad doing everything he could to take my little brother and me to games, my Auntie and Nana made sure they took us when they could. My Mum knows how much it means to me and my Dad often rings to talk solely about the football club. It’s 24/7 in this life of mine. In 2015, I worked at the football club as a car park attendant. This year marked 10 years since the Premier League title win. On one of my first days in this job, I got to interview Christian Fuchs and upon reflecting on where we were 10 years ago, I got a 'congratulations' and 'you should be proud of yourself' for landing the job. A Premier League winner! I am proud of myself. But a big task awaits covering this football club through a difficult time. League One football is something this generation of supporters is not used to. I'll do my utmost best to cover everything, bring the action to life and make you feel part of the ride. Up the City!

Leicester City defender Harry Souttar has been named in the Australia squad for the World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico which starts next week. He managed only two games for Leicester last season because of a ruptured Achilles tendon which he sustained while on loan at Sheffield United in 2024. The 27-year-old has already made 37 appearances for the Socceroos, scoring 11 goals, and featured for them at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar where he started all four games as they were beaten in the last 16 by eventual tournament winners Argentina. Souttar was born in Aberdeen but despite featuring for Scotland's under-17 team, he switched his allegiance to Australia in 2019. Australia are in Group D for the tournament alongside Paraguay, Turkey and co-hosts, the USA. They start their campaign against Turkey on Sunday, 14 June.
