Leicester City head coach Russell Martin, speaking to BBC Radio Leicester about Stephy Mavididi's season-long loan to Watford: "The thinking was that we can plan for life without him. We have two really, really young wingers in the building.

"The guys who have left while I've been here have been great - honestly, as human beings and professionals, they've been really good.

"But we have to have some new energy. It's been difficult for two years. We have to inject something fresh into it.

"Maybe it's best for some people to have a fresh start, and that's why we replaced them a while ago... we have to focus our time and effort on [current players].

"He's done a great job and is a brilliant pro. It's been a difficult couple of weeks for him but he's really got his head down and got on.

"Now he goes with our best wishes and we can focus on the squad that's here."
