EFL: Kelechi Iheanacho targets more goals as Leicester City visit Huddersfield 

By Wale Mustapha

Nigerian winger, Kelechi Iheanacho has expressed desire to score more goals for Leicester City in the 2023/2024 football season.

The Super Eagles has helped the Foxes to a bright start to life in new season having their opening two competitive games as Leicester will hope to continue the fine form as they visit Huddersfield in their first game on the road.

The Foxes defeated Burton Albion 2-0 in the first round of the Carabao Cup during the week with Iheanacho scoring one of the goals with a backheeled finish into the bottom left corner.

The former Manchester City star wishes for the form to continue as he aimed to help Leicester do better this season.

“Hopefully we keep it going against Huddersfield,” Iheanacho on Leicester’s website.

“It was a good game; we did what we needed to do. We controlled most of the ball, got the goals and hopefully we take this into the weekend.

“It’s a great feeling to score my first goal of the season. I wasn’t expecting the ball, so it was nice to see it go into the bottom corner, and hopefully there’s more goals to come.

“My back was to the goal, but we always work on finishing in training so that one might only come once in a while, but I’m happy I was able to take it and help the team as well.”

Iheanacho also attributed his recent form be coaching philosophy of new Leicester manager, adding that: “The new manager has really brought something to the Club.

“They’ve changed the mood in the team, the tactics and we know what they want now. So, it’s just about practising, repeating it every day so that it becomes perfect and hopefully we’ll get there.

“It’s part of the tactic, for me to drop deeper and drag the centre-backs out of position, but it’s working well and hopefully we do a bit more in training so that it becomes more natural, and we see the reward on the pitch.”
