Iheanacho explained that his fellow attackers will all contribute to the 2021/22 campaign across all formats.

“We’re not in a battle in our team,” he told LCTV.

“Patson [Daka] will be important to the squad. Me as well. Vards (Jamie Vardy), Madders (James Maddison) – everyone is important in the squad. We are together as a team and as a family.

“I’ll keep working hard and at the end of the season, we’ll see what happens.”
