Lesten Martins, 15, will travel to the UK to train with Leicester City and sample the life of a professional footballer in this country. The scholarship, sponsored by Air India, is part of the Leicester India Football Link, an initiative launched to forge links between Leicester and India by Milan Mandaric, Chairman of Leicester City Football Club; the British High Commissioner to India, Sir Richard Stagg; and Keith Vaz, MP for Leicester East and GFA. It follows a hugely successful tour to Goa in October last year by a group of Under 14’s footballers from Leicester. During the tour, Lesten was identified by the coaches that accompanied the touring party as possessing great ability, and they chose him to receive this once in a lifetime opportunity. In addition to training with the club, Lesten will attend the Foxes final home game of the season against Scunthorpe and meet with Leicester City legend Gary Lineker, in whose name the scholarship is awarded. Keith Vaz MP said: “It’s wonderful to be able to welcome this talented young man to Leicester. The players from Leicester enjoyed a fantastic tour last year and I’m delighted that the link between the two communities can be further strengthened through the Gary Lineker Scholarship.” Lesten Martins said: “I can’t wait to get to England and train with Leicester City. It is my dream to be a footballer, and I can’t believe I’m going to have the chance to train with a professional team.” Savio Messias said: This is a wonderful opportunity for Lesten Martins who will be accompanied by Fabien D’souza of Goa United Academy, whose club has been responsible for the development of Lesten. *ENDS* ------------------------------ Now surf faster and smarter !
