Iheanacho's wonder March earns him a new contract with the Foxes

That's how the English do it. Some will say that they decide only based on the last impression, others that they have a sense of marketing, and still others that everything is planned in detail. However, Leicester extended Kelechi Iheanacho after the impressive form of the Nigerian in the past month.

The 24-year-old attacker signed a new contract with the Foxes this morning since his previous one was to expire the following June. According to the provisions of the new one, he is obliged to stay at the King Power Stadium until June 2024, so the club will have a chance to make some financial profits there, which is a better option than entering the final year of cooperation, which would allow him to leave next January without compensation.

Thus, Iheanacho remains in Leicester's plans and may announce generations' final change in the former Premier League winner's attack. Jamie Vardy is 34 years old, the former member of Manchester City is ten years younger. If the club already trusts him...

And they believed him only when Kelechi exploded. He scored seven goals in the last four games, played in great shape, was named the Premier League's best player in March, although the real question is where was the boardroom of Leicester before that if they really think that Iheanacho is the calibre for the first 11.

Brendan Rodgers thinks so.

"He has been fantastic since he came to us. I am thrilled because he is a conscientious and honest guy and a talented football player. If you look at his development path, he entered the first team of City after being named the World Cup's best player for under-17s, scoring goals in the Citizens' jersey. Still, it was difficult for him to stay at that level because more talented players deserved a chance before him. He then moved to Leicester, where his competitor is Jamie Vardy, one of the Premier League's best players. It took him a while to accept leaving the Etihad. When I came for the coach, people grumbled: "Why is Ihenacho playing?" He then won them over very quickly. "With hard work and talent", praises Rodgers, his Nigerian gem, who will be one of the key Leicester players in tonight tie against Manchester City (7.30 PM).
