Leicester City manager, Brendan Rodgers, says he never doubted the qualities of in-form striker, Kelechi Iheanacho, when he joined the club. When he did play with Jamie, he showed they could play together,” Rodgers said at the club’s pre-match press conference. “It was never about ability, it was about his resilience to keep going until he got that chance. Jamie hasn’t scored the goals but his movement has created space and that’s helped Kels. Hopefully he can keep scoring and keep celebrating.”The Nigerian will be hoping to continue his goal scoring form when the Foxes clash with Southampton on Friday.
