Former Nigeria international, Emmanuel Amuneke, has given Kelechi Iheanacho advice on how to win his spot back in the Leicester City starting XI.
It has taken time for Iheanacho to settle at King Power Stadium. But he enjoyed an impressive 2020/2021 campaign, scoring 12 league goals in 25 outings.
Despite that form, the Super Eagles star is yet to start in the Premier League this season.
Amueke coached Iheanacho and Nigeria to U17 World Cup glory in 2015, and the legendary Super Eagles winger believes his former pupil needs to focus on his work off the ball to win back the trust of manager Brendan Rodgers.
He told TribalFootball.com: “He should not allow the success of the today to overwhelm him because what is good today in football is outdated tomorrow, so he just needs to continue to realise that and continue to work hard.
“He’s a player with talent, but of course there are other aspects a player needs to try as much as he can to improve especially when he is not with the ball. It is more important to know how to play without the ball and that will justify how to rate a player totally.”
