English-Ghanaian forward Kirsten Fiifi Otchere delivered a standout performance in Leicester City's impressive 5-2 victory over reigning champions Chelsea in the English U-18 South Premier League last Saturday.
The 16-year-old forward played a pivotal role by scoring twice, leading the Young Foxes to a remarkable comeback win.
Otchere's goals came at crucial moments, as Leicester City overcame Chelsea's early advantage.
The Young Foxes' offensive display was further bolstered by additional goals from Kevon Gray, Laolu Omobolaji, and Jeremy Monga.
Chelsea’s Sol Gordon and Landon Emenalo added goals for the Young Blues, but it wasn't enough to counter Leicester's relentless attack.
Last season, Otchere made a significant impact with 15 goal contributions, including 10 goals and five assists across all competitions.
His recent brace underscores his potential and growing influence on the pitch.
As the season progresses, Otchere aims to secure more game time and goals with both the U-18 and U21 sides, with aspirations of breaking into Leicester City’s senior team.
The Young Foxes are set to face West Ham United in their next match on September 14.
Despite representing England at the youth level, Otchere maintains strong ties to his Ghanaian heritage.
Last May, he organized a charity game in Adako-Jachie, Ashanti Region, demonstrating his commitment to giving back to his roots.
