Kelechi Iheanacho Delighted With Pre-Season Campaign

Kelechi Iheanacho scored both goals for Leicester City in their 2-2 stalemate with League One side Rotherham United in a pre-season game on Saturday.

Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho says he and his team-mates are making great progress ahead of the new Premier League campaign. Brendan Rodgers’ men drew their latest friendly 2-2 on Sunday as they traveled to Rotherham United, with Iheanacho scoring both goals.

The Foxes have already beaten Scunthorpe United, Cheltenham Town, Cambridge United and Stoke City and Iheanacho believe their hard work in training is starting to pay off.

The Nigerian is Leicester’s top scorer in pre-season and he believes his side will be a force to be reckoned with. He told LCFC TV: “I’m delighted, I’m happy. Getting two goals today… I’ll hopefully take that into the season. We are pleased today. I think we played really well.”
