Iheanacho: My focus is on helping Leicester City back to Premier League

Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho has told BBC Radio Leicester’s When You’re Smiling Podcast his main focus now is on helping the Foxes to return to
the Premier League after dropping down to the Skybet Championship at the end of last season.

The Nigerian was linked with a move away from the King Power Stadium following the club’s relegation, especially with the fact that he has just a year left
on his contract at the club he joined in the summer of 2017 from Manchester City.

‘These discussions are always difficult when you have less time left at the football club, probably a year or two. I know the speculation, the report or ‘you
want to stay, you want to leave’, I know that,’ he said in the interview.

‘Personally, I love Leicester City, it is a good place, a good football club. I’ve been here for a few years now and we went down, it’s not ideal, but we’re
here now, fighting our way up.

‘I’m here, concentrating on my football with Leicester City. Hopefully we can get back up and everyone will be happy, I didn’t get to move, I’m here now
playing for Leicester City so we concentrate on that now.

‘Hopefully all the players that didn’t get to move as well will all contribute to the team for us to get up there which is the most important thing now.
Everyone has to make their choice, but we now concentrate on the team and try to help the team and stay together to get up there.’

The Nigerian has featured 215 times for the Foxes, scoring 57 times and provided 35 assists. He has won the Premier League Player of the month of March 2021
and several man of the match awards.
