Leicester boss Pearson: Cambiasso has made massive impact since arrival

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson is delighted with the early impact of Esteban Cambiasso.

Cambiasso has impressed behind the scenes at the King Power Stadium with Pearson delighted with his impact in the dressing room.

He said: "When you have someone who learns other people's names as quickly as he has throughout the squad it would suggest he's interested in his team-mates and he has spent time getting to know them.

"It illustrates his desire to get to know people but he understands he will get to know the culture and people a lot better if he shows interest, and he is genuinely interested. It's a reflection of his qualities as a person.

"Esteban has come into the squad and he has a lot of humility about him.

"With the sort of career he's had it's good for us he still has that desire and thirst to play.

"Last week when he played 45 minutes he showed what's he's capable of in terms of effecting a game. All those things together are very good for us."
