Leicester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho aims to continue goalscoring run

Having delivered in Leicester City’s previous two pre-season games, Kelechi Iheanacho hopes to ‘keep it going’.

On Wednesday, the striker scored to give his side the lead against Valencia before Daniel Parejo’s response ensured the game ended 1-1.

The effort against the Spanish side was the 21-year-old’s second in as many games since returning from holiday, having participated at the World Cup with Nigeria.
