In-form Leicester City striker, Kelechi Iheanacho will be vital to our FA Cup win and top-four finish, goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has said.

The striker's 8 goals in 10 games have propelled the Foxes to the FA finals for the first time in 52 years.

Speaking in an interview with Leicester City TV, the Danish number one said he’s delighted to see Kelechi Iheanacho hard work in training coming to fruition.

“Incredible form, incredible guy, incredible player. Kelly (Kelechi Iheanacho) has been working so hard ever since he joined the Club.”

He will be vital for us in the crucial part of the season. We’re very, very focused and very determined to not live in the future. We’re living in the now, focusing on now, and the next challenge is the Premier League. We have to take that later on.”

“He just needed that bit of luck to give him the confidence. He’s horrible to play against sometimes, so I’m just buzzing for him that it’s coming to fruition in games.” he said.

Iheanacho will be hoping to add to his goal tally when the Brendan Rodgers side take on West Bromwich Albion later this evening.
