“Kel will come back into pre-season, gain more confidence and hopefully come out of that with a renewed motivation to show his qualities.”Iheanacho has scored just ten goals since joining Leicester in a 25million deal from Manchester City in 2017.And he missed a gilt-edged chance against his former employers to draw the Foxes level on Monday.

He’s a fantastic young player and hopefully he can show that over his time at Leicester.”
