Jamie Carragher claims Kelechi Iheanacho will be Leicester City's new Jamie Vardy in the future

Jamie Carragher believes Kelechi Iheanacho can be Leicester City's long-term solution when Jamie Vardy moves on from Leicester in the coming years.

The Nigerian striker is in the form of his career at the moment as his winner in the 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace continued a run of 14 goals in his last 14 matches in all competitions and kept the Foxes on course for the Champions League.

Former England striker Vardy, who has 15 goals this season, did not find the net at the King Power Stadium on Monday night but Carragher claims 24-year-old striker Iheanacho could be the future for the Foxes.
