Kelechi Iheanacho

[r.soleofsalford]

Weirdly enough when he was younger he seemed to have a better first touch. IMO what he needs is a serious run of games in a team where there isn't the pressure that he was under at City last season. I think we'll see him go up a level real quick.

completely agree

He had so much time to improve under pep. Was he not able to improve with what pep needs?

He has had a year of trying to train him,the lad doesn't seem capable of doing what is needed

Might out a bet on him scoring more league goals than Lukaku....wonder what odds I'd get.

When he was playing regularly he had a much better all round game.

There's a reason they're insisting on the buyback clause, he could easily have a 20 goal season like Lukaku at West Brom, and I think the "poacher" tag will be gone within months as he stares regularly and gets room to show off the other parts of his game.

Yep. I genuinely think if he gets his confidence up early it could be a rapid assent for the boy.

Damn good bet especially if he goes to United.

Good luck to the boy, I thought he would really take off under Pep but it never really happened for him.

I can see him turning into a very good striker and giving Leicester the firepower to really challenge the Rags for 6th place.

Kelechi needs some time away from City and Leicester seems to be the right club to kick on.

 

[Immels_eyebrow]

Can see him scoring 15+ next season with regular game time.

 

[LFC-Fans]

Not seen much of him, but he's shown glimpses of talent. Much like our very own Origi in truth.

Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho is close to making a £25m move to Leicester City.

The 20-year-old Nigerian is in advanced talks with the Foxes and is thought to be keen to make the switch.

Iheanacho has scored 21 goals in 64 games in all competitions since making his debut for Manchester City in 2015.

Last August, he signed a new contract until 2021, but saw his playing time limited by the January arrival of Brazil forward Gabriel Jesus.
