BOSS IMPRESSED BY HARRY’S GAME

- BY JAMES NURSEY

HARRY MAGUIRE is being tipped as a future England captain by Craig Shakespear­e.

Leicester boss Shakespear­e feels his club pulled off a coup by signing the defender from Hull in June.

Maguire (above), 24, has already opened his City account with a goal in the 2-0 win over Brighton.

And yesterday the uncapped centre-half was called up by the senior England side.

Shakespear­e, who paid £17million for Maguire, said: “We are delighted for him, he can be really pleased with his overall performanc­e since he has been here.

“I don’t see any reason why he can’t be a future captain of England. He has impressed everyone with ability as well as his character since day one.

“He is very level-headed. England has come along quickly, but he will take it in his stride. He is comfortabl­e on the ball and that is important in internatio­nal football.”
