Leicester City have confirmed the signing of Super Eagles attacker
Kelechi Iheanacho from Manchester City.
The 20 year old joins the 2016 Premier League champions on a five year
contract until 2022 for an undisclosed fee reported to be in the
region of £25m.
On his signing, he told the club's website
"It feels good and I'm happy to be part of this team. I know the
ambition of the team and speaking with the manager, he let me know
what I need to do to help the team achieve what they want. I was
convinced and I'm happy to be here."
On his part, Leicester City manager, Craig Shakespeare
had this to say:
"It's a great signing for us. Kelechi is an enormously talented player
that has shown a huge amount of promise at every level in which he's
played.
"We've tracked his progress for some time, so we know how much
quality he'll bring to the squad. He's young, he's hungry, he's ready
for the next stage of his development and I'm delighted that will be
with Leicester City."
Iheanacho leaves Manchester City after 64 appearances with 21 goals.
His signing increases the Nigerian contingent at the King Power
stadium to three with Wilfred Ndidi and Ahmed Musa already on the
books of Leicester City.
