Legendary England strike Gary Lineker has described Kelechi Iheanacho as a clinical finisher, after he opened his Premier League goals account this season against Brighton.
Iheanacho was selected ahead of Jamie Vardy and repaid his manager’s faith by giving Leicester the lead inside one minute.
It was Iheanacho’s first Premier League since May this year when he scored the only goal in Leicester’s 3-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.

But it was not enough as Leicester ended up losing 5-2 and have suffered defeats in their last five league games.
And reacting to Iheanacho’s opener against Brighton Lineker, a former Leicester striker, urged Brendan Rodgers to give the Super Eagles star more playing time.
“Kelechi is a clinical finisher and deserves a good run in the side,” Lineker wrote on Twitter.
Last season Iheanacho scored four goals in 26 Premier League games.

Rogers is taking Leicester to the championship this season. Ihenaccho and ndidi will be playing championship football next season. They have been too dull with their ambitions.
Get tougher defenders and midfielders into your team especially in the full back and dm department. Let iheanacho and daka play upfront for a while and let’s see how it goes.
