Leicester City's Iheanacho Sings The Praises Of Wolves Manager Ahead Of Carabao Cup Tie

Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho has praised Wolverhampton Wanderers manager, Nuno Espírito Santo, ahead of Tuesday's Carabao Cup third round tie at Molineux.

Wolves had been tipped to struggle in the Premier League this season but have enjoyed a good start, losing only once to Leicester City more than a month ago.

Iheanacho has acknowledged the work done by Nuno Espírito Santo, who was appointed Wolves coach in 2017 and helped the club achieve promotion to the English topflight in his first season.

''I think they’ve had a good run this season,'' Iheanacho told LCFC TV.

''They have a good manager, I think they have good quality players, they’re in good shape and have been good this season in the Premier League, so it’s going to be a difficult game.

''We played them at home, we won, but that game was difficult as well. A cup game is going to be different. We are playing them away and we need to go and show what we’ve learned.''

In seven previous outings in the League Cup, Iheanacho has registered his name on the score-sheet four times and provided three assists.
