Iheanacho speaks on his future

Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho has debunked rumour linking him with a move away from Leicester City.

The 26-year-old has been linked with a move to the King Power Stadium following the club's relegation from the Premier League.

Everton, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and Inter Milan are all reportedly interested in the Super Eagles striker who has on year left on his current deal with the Foxes.

Speaking in an interview on BBC Radio Leicester’s When You’re Smiling Podcast, Iheanacho dispelled the the speculations saying that he is happy at the club.

He added that his main focus is to help the club to return to the English topflight.

“These discussions are always difficult when you have less time left at the football club, probably a year or two,”

“I know the speculation, the report or ‘you want to stay, you want to leave’, I know that.

“Personally, I love Leicester City, it is a good place, a good football club. I’ve been here for a few years now and we went down, it’s not ideal, but we’re here now, fighting our way up.

“I’m here, concentrating on my football with Leicester City. Hopefully, we can get back up and everyone will be happy, I didn’t get to move, I’m here now playing for Leicester City so we concentrate on that now.

“Hopefully all the players that didn’t get to move as well will all contribute to the team for us to get up there which is the most important thing now. Everyone has to make their choice, but we now concentrate on the team and try to help the team and stay together to get up there.”

Iheanacho has scored 57 goals in 215 appearances for Leicester City.
