Leicester boss: Kelechi Iheanacho has silenced critics with his goal run

APRIL 30, 2021 | EASTERN PILOT

Kelechi Iheanacho insists Leicester City cannot afford to slip up in the race for a Champions League spot this season.

Leicester City manager, Brender Rodgers, has said red-hot striker Kelechi Iheanacho has finally silenced the moaners with his goal run.

The Nigerian, 24, endured a tough start at the Foxes following his £25m moves from Manchester City in 2017.

But 12 goals in nine games have cemented the third spot and put Leicester into next month’s FA Cup final.

Ahead of tonight’s trip to Southampton, Rodgers said: “Kelechi’s gone through spells when there were moans and groans when he came on.

“But I don’t think there’s any now. That’s a testament to Kelechi,” he was quoted by The Sun of UK.
