Iheanacho bids farewell to Leicester City with an emotional message

During his time at Leicester, Iheanacho won the FA Community Shield, FA Cup and EFL Championship title. He also scored 61 goals and provided 34 assists in 232 goals for the Foxes.

The 27-year-old achieved significant milestones during his tenure, including becoming the first player in English football history to have a goal awarded by the video assistant referee (VAR).

He also played a crucial role in Leicester’s FA Cup win in 2021 and became the first player in English football to score every day of the week in a single season.

In a post on social media, Iheanacho expressed his gratitude:

“Thank you for the 7 years we shared. I will always remember fondly our 2021 FA Cup win. Thank you to the owners who brought me to the club, to all my teammates over those years and to the amazing Foxes fans. I wish you all the best for the new season.”

Iheanacho joined Sevilla as a free agent, becoming the second Nigerian to join the club.
