Mind You Kelechi has an Interesting battle on his hands with the arrival of Patson Daka at Leicester City. One I am eargly awaiting and sneakingly feeling Kelechi can win. I aslo have a sneaky feeling that Jamie Vardy should be the one most worried. I don’t know just let us watch and see. Can’t wait. My eyes are on Leicester City this season
Now thats the way to go, before he will get injured before the season start proper
