Emile Heskey has been discussing where he thinks Leicester City striker, Kelechi Iheanacho’s future lies moving forward.
Heskey began his career with the Foxes, making his senior debut in 1994, before going on to make 154 appearances.
After 40 goals across a six-year spell for City, Liverpool splashed out a club record, at the time, £11 million.
The striker is easily recognisable, 130 goals across his career over 633 appearances has made him a Premier League icon.
Another striker who is well-liked at the King Power, Iheanacho has had a good start to the season.
Despite only registering two goals and one assist, the Nigerian has put in many positive performances.
What has Emile Heskey said about Kelechi Iheanacho?
The current Leicester star is a popular figure at the club with fans and players alike showing their admiration.
When asked if City should sell, Heskey said: “Yes and no, Iheanacho is quite comfortable at Leicester, obviously, the fans love him.”
The ex-England international was unsure which side of the fence he sat it seems.
With that being said, he did have plenty of praise for the striker: “He’s a fantastic goal scorer and his goal contributions are generally very good when he starts or when he comes on.
“He either scores or assists, it’s just phenomenal.”
Given the links that arose during the window, it was surprising that Iheanacho remained with the Foxes.
This view was shared by Heskey: I thought it was very interesting that they managed to keep him.
“But it’s great because when you’re looking at the players that Leicester have got, there are a lot of Premier League stars.”
Hopefully, he gets back to his top form in terms of goalscoring and becomes a feared Championship player.
