Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Leicester City striker, Emile Heskey has rated Super Eagles star, Kelechi Iheanacho, as the best finisher at the club.<\/p>\n

Heskey stated this ahead of Leicester City\u2019s away Premier League tie with Arsenal on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Iheanacho netted a sublime goal in Leicester City\u2019s UEFA Europa Conference League 2-0 victory against Stade Rennes on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

The former Manchester City star scored Leicester\u2019s second goal with a curling finish in stoppage time.<\/p>\n

\u201cKasper Schmeichel says Iheanacho is the best finisher at the club and that is fantastic. The finish was not easy at all. It\u2019s great for him to score, especially with Jamie Vardy being out,\u201d Heskey told BT Sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe club relies on [Jamie] Vardy, but it\u2019s not just about him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iheanacho has so far scored five goals and registered nine assists in 28 appearances across all competitions for Leicester City this season.<\/p>\n
