Leicester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho is under scrutiny from supporters and competing clubs.
The Nigeria international striker has been stellar for the King Power club in recent times.
From his impeccable partnership with legendary forward Jamie Vardy, they were the Foxes most productive pairing up front probably in their history.
On top of that, the Foxes’ man is versatile stylistically, and a clear goal threat in every fixture.
But ‘Seniorman’ has only one year left on his current deal and Leicester have failed to give the starting spot to Iheanacho.
In response to questions regarding the future of Iheanacho, Italian head coach Enzo Maresca pointed towards the position of the club, himself and the player.
“This is one of the things is on the table. It’s one of the things we need to discuss with the player. Most of the time we think about the club but we need to see the desire of the player… player, club, and manager. It’s one of the things we need to do soon to clarify the situation,” Maresca said.
Clearly, Leicester themselves want to discuss extending the players stay at the club.
However, to Maresca, the situation remains unclear as the player is yet to show a desire either to stay with the Foxes or to find the exit door.
“Kele played against Coventry, very good. He played the other day, goal, assist. It’s one of the things I said from day one that to realise something important… but we also need to know the desire of the player.”
