Liverpool Hero Heskey Reveals One Thing Missing From Iheanacho's Game Compared With Vardy's
Published: June 20, 2020
Nigeria international Kelechi Iheanacho has had his ups and downs since transferring to Leicester City from Manchester City in the summer of 2017, but was in good form before the enforced break.
Iheanacho is the Foxes go-to striker when former England star Jamie Vardy is not available for selection, and the Nigerian has been impressive this season, contributing to 12 goals (8 goals, 4 assists) in 18 matches.
Former Liverpool and Leicester City star Emile Heskey acknowledged that Iheanacho has not done badly but highlighted what is always missing from his game, compared with Jamie Vardy's.
Speaking just before the start of the ongoing game between Watford and Leicester City at Vicarage Road, Heskey said on Premier League Productions : "When you look at Leicester, without Jamie Vardy it doesn't tick as well, they understand what runs he wants to make, they understand where he wants the ball and you know he's a finisher.
"Iheanacho has come in and done very well but he doesn't have that fire in his belly like what Jamie Vardy does."
"Iheanacho has come in and done very well but he doesn't have that fire in his belly like what Jamie Vardy does."
Iheanacho is on the bench against the Hornets, Wilfred Ndidi starts in midfield, while Watford duo Isaac Success and Tom Dele-Bashiru are not in the matchday squad.
