Official : Leicester City announce 'Seniorman' Iheanacho has signed new contract

Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho has committed his future to Leicester City by signing a new contract with the Premier League club, informs the official website of the Foxes.

The new deal signed by Iheanacho will keep him at the King Power Stadium until at least 2024.

Signed from Manchester City in August 2017, the original agreement between club and player would have kept him at Leicester City until the end of the 2021-2022 season.

Nicknamed 'Seniorman', Iheanacho was in brilliant form last month, scoring in all the matches he was involved in - seven goals in four games - and was recently named the Premier League Player of the Month.

Commenting on his new deal, the 2013 U17 World Cup Golden Ball winner said : "I can’t express how I’m feeling. I’m excited, I’m happy, I’m overwhelmed! It’s a great moment and I’m happy that Leicester City gave me a new contract.

"It’s been a great time here. It’s not been easy, but there’s a lot of people here that are good people, great people to work with.

"They are nice people and they make me feel comfortable and welcome since I came in.

"It’s been really great being here. It’s like a family. I’m happy being here and hopefully I can stay here many more years."

The 24-year-old Iheanacho has made 117 appearances for Leicester City in all competitions, scoring 32 goals.
