Kelechi Iheanacho firmly failing Leicester City audition

The Nigeria striker isn’t able to translate regular playing time to a consistent goalscoring output with the Foxes

COMMENT

Throughout his club career to date, Kelechi Iheanacho could make a case that a lack of opportunity has stymied his progress.

At Manchester City, he was asked to feed on scraps, and largely made the most of the time he was afforded.

He only ever made 12 Premier League starts for the club, with the rest of his appearances coming from the bench, but still left the Citizens with an admirable goals-to-minutes ratio after being deemed surplus to requirements by Pep Guardiola.
