Iheanacho Stellar Year Continues With Another Individual Award

Barely a day goes by without Kelechi Iheanacho grabbing the headlines for one positive news or the other.

On Tuesday, the Nigerian international’s goal in Leicester City’s 2-1 league defeat by Chelsea meant he became the first player to score in all days of the week in the same league season.

This time around, Iheanacho has won Leicester City’s goal of the season award to add to his impressive list of honors this term.

His rocket of a strike against Crystal Palace in a Premier League match in April received the highest votes by fans at the club’s annual end of the season awards ceremony.

The forward cut inside on to his left foot and blasted the ball past Eagles goalkeeper Vicente Guaita to net a late winner for his side.

Iheanacho is having the best season of his career to date. The 24-years old has scored 19 goals in 38 games in all competitions for Brendan Rodgers side.
