Kelechi Iheanacho has no desire to leave the King Power Stadium as he eyes the renewal of his contract at Leicester City following his recent impressive performances for the Foxes.

Iheanacho has been in fine goalscoring form in the past couple of weeks and on Sunday, he delivered a man-of-the-match performance in securing Leicester City’s progress to the FA Cup semi-final with two goals and an assist in their 3-1 win over Manchester United.
