Kelechi Iheanacho's Leicester City Stint Comes to an End
Nigerian international Kelechi Iheanacho has officially parted ways with Leicester City, bringing a close to his seven-year association with the Premier League outfit. The talented forward played a vital role in the Foxes' promotion back to the top tier, culminating in their Championship title triumph in the previous season.
Iheanacho initially joined Leicester City in 2017, penning a five-year deal following his transfer from Manchester City. During his tenure, he made 117 appearances and scored 32 goals, cementing his status as a key player for the club. In 2021, he signed a contract extension, committing his future to the Foxes until 2024.
Throughout his Leicester City career, Iheanacho amassed an impressive record, including:
- 117 appearances
- 32 goals
- FA Cup winner
- Community Shield winner
His outstanding performance during the 2020-2021 season earned him the prestigious Premier League Player of the Month award for March. Despite his achievements, Iheanacho was linked to various top-flight clubs, including Everton and Nottingham Forest, during the summer transfer window. However, a move failed to materialize, and he remained with Leicester City until the expiration of his contract in June 2024. With his departure, Iheanacho's chapter at Leicester City comes to a close, marking the end of a fruitful and memorable stint.
