'The Regression is Frightening': Kelechi Iheanacho Slammed by Fans After Shocking Nigeria Display

Things looked so promising for Kelechi Iheanacho not too long ago.

He came up through the youth ranks at Manchester City and was slowly being introduced into the first team with great effect. He scored 14 goals in 35 appearances in all competitions - including eight Premier League goals - in his debut season before scoring nine goals in 27 appearances the following campaign.

Following his meteoric rise, he was the subject of a £25m transfer to Leicester City where he would get more playing time and a more meaningful role - however, he's failed to hit the heights many thought he would.
