Arsenal legend Thierry Henry knows more than a thing about scoring
goals after his goal scoring fit for the club with a total of 228
goals.
The former Arsenal hitman now cutting his teeth as a pundit with Sky
sports, a platform he used to speak about Nigeria's Kelechi
Iheanacho's £25m move to Leicester City from Manchester City and what
he could bring to the former Premier League champions.
"It's an amazing opportunity for him. I think back to Manuel
Pellegrini's last season at Manchester City. He wasn't the only one
but he was the spark in the team, fighting everywhere, scoring goals,
trying his hardest. So I think it's a good buy for Leicester." he
asserted
He followed up his assessment with what he could bring to the Foxes
side by combining with Vardy. A combination that saw just 25 minutes
in a pre-season, but produced an assist from the Nigeria.
"It will be interesting to see how he interacts with Jamie Vardy. Is
he going to do the job of Shinji Okazaki? Is Okazaki going to keep his
place? Are they going to be more adventurous? I don't know whether
Craig Shakespeare will play a 4-4-1-1 or a proper 4-4-2, but it's a
good signing."
"Whenever he had to do something at Manchester City, even when things
were not great for the team, he delivered. People might say he had
better players around him but let's not forget that Leicester won the
league two years ago. They have some good players too."
Kelechi Iheanacho is expected to be in the Nigeria squad for the
double header World Cup qualifiers against Cameroon in September.
