5 players set for a big Premier League season

Andreas Christensen

Kelechi Iheanacho (Leicester City)

Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City - Premier League
Kelechi Iheanacho scores against Tottenham

Leicester paid £25 million to bring Kelechi Iheanacho to the club from Manchester City last summer, and would most likely have hoped for a better return than the four goals he scored in the league. The 21-year-old scored 21 goals in his two seasons in City's first team, mainly from the bench, earning him a move to the King Power Stadium.

The Nigerian was involved more towards the end of the season, including scoring a stunner against Tottenham, and the Foxes will expect him to take that form into the start of this season. He is an accomplished finisher, and with Leicester likely to lose Riyad Mahrez in the next few weeks, Iheanacho will be tasked with the job of stepping up and providing the goals in his place.
