Liverpool legend Emile Heskey has heaped praises on Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Leicester City attacker Kelechi Iheanacho.
The Foxes are doing well in the English Championship recently and the Nigerian International is one of the players that has contributed immensely to the team.
During his chat with England football news outlet, the former Three Lions attacker tagged Iheanacho as a fantastic striker who always delivers either as a starter or substitute.
“He’s a fantastic goal scorer and his goal contributions are generally very good when he starts or when he comes on.
“He either scores or assists, it’s just phenomenal.
“I thought it was very interesting that they managed to keep him but great because when you’re looking at the players that Leicester have got, there’s a lot of Premier League stars”, he said.
Iheanacho scored 19 times in all competitions in the 2020-21 season, with four of those coming in the club’s run to winning the FA Cup.
