SUPER EAGLES COACH ADVICE IHEANACHO TO REMAIN CALM AND BE HUNGRY AS EVER

Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has advised Kelechi Iheanacho to remain humble if the Leicester City striker wants to remain at the top of his game.

The forward has been in terrific form for the Foxes this season, scoring 12 goals and providing five assists in 28 appearances across all competitions and recently signed a new contract that will keep him at King Power Stadium until 2024.

The 24 year old has now scored five goals in three league appearances for the Foxes in the lead-up to the international break last month, including his first Premier League hat-trick against Sheffield United, resulting in the former Manchester City star being named March’s Premier League player of the month on Friday.

He was one of eight players shortlisted for the award and beat the likes of Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane, Manchester City’s Riyad Mahrez and Manchester United’s Luke Shaw to the accolade.
