NFF Sends Well Wishes to Iheanacho as He Joins Nigerian Contingent at Leicester

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has extended its warm wishes to Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho as he embarks on a new journey with Leicester City, joining fellow national team comrades Ahmed Musa and Wilfred Ndidi.

Iheanacho’s switch to Leicester City was officially confirmed on Thursday after he signed a five-year deal with the club, reported to be worth £25 million. The NFF, showing its support for the young talent, expressed its best wishes for Iheanacho through its verified Twitter account: “Best of luck to Kelechi Iheanacho who has joined the Nigerian family at Leicester City.”

Iheanacho is on the cusp of potentially making his unofficial debut for Leicester in a pre-season friendly match against Bundesliga club Borussia Monchengladbach on Friday.

During his time at Manchester City, Iheanacho made 46 appearances and found the net 12 times. Although he was an unused substitute in Manchester City’s 2016 League Cup triumph against Liverpool, his potential and goal-scoring ability have garnered attention and admiration from football enthusiasts and experts alike.

The coming together of Iheanacho, Musa, and Ndidi at Leicester City presents an exciting prospect for the Super Eagles, as the trio’s chemistry and talent may contribute to the team’s success both in the Premier League and on the international stage. The NFF’s message underscores the collective optimism surrounding this development, and the football community eagerly awaits Iheanacho’s journey in the Leicester City colors.
