'Kelechi Has Done Brilliantly' - Leicester Boss Hints Striker's Form Won't Change Transfer Plans
Published: July 06, 2020
Speaking to reporters at Monday's pre-match press conference via Zoom call, Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has strongly hinted that the club won't change their transfer plans for the summer despite the brilliant form of Kelechi Iheanacho.
The Foxes are believed to be in the market for a center forward to provide competition for the ageing Jamie Vardy and have been linked with Glasgow Celtic's France U21 star Odsonne Edouard.
Iheanacho has been enjoying a new lease of life this season and has scored 10 goals while producing four assists in 22 appearances across all competitions.
Asked if Iheanacho's form would change transfer plans, Rodgers responded : "It’s something we’ll look at. Kelechi has done brilliantly. He needed confidence. As he’s gained that, you’ve seen his strengths. He’s scored goals.
"He loves his football. We are looking currently, because each season you want to improve."
Iheanacho has two years to run on his contract with Leicester City, whom he joined from Manchester City in August 2017.
Leicester City face an in-form Arsenal side at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, July 7.
