Rodgers: Iheanacho prepared to get better

Leicester City coach, Brendan Rodgers has said that Kelechi Iheanacho has shown the hunger to improve at the club.

Iheanacho joined Leicester from Manchester City in 2017, since then he’s scored only 4 goals in 44 appearances for the club. He was also recently criticised by Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr during the international break.

“When I saw him at Manchester City, he was always a young player that could come in and affect the game,” Rodgers said.

“From what I’ve seen in training and when I’ve spoken to him, he has shown a wonderful appetite and enthusiasm to get better.

“We have a culture where we want to improve players and make them better and he’s responded very well to that.”
