Grading the summer transfer window: Leicester City

Leicester City v Sevilla FC - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg
Leicester City have lost 2 of their 3 matches already this seaso

3. Kelechi Iheanacho

Arsenal v Leicester City - Premier League
Iheanacho was deemed surplus to requirements at Manchester City

Kelechi Iheanacho impressed under Pellegrini but was not given many chances last season under Pep and the arrival of Jesus only worsened his chances of getting regular playing time. Last season under Pep, the Nigerian made 20 appearances and scored 4 goals and 3 assists for City.

It was a good decision for both the clubs and the player to make the transfer. Only time will tell if Iheanacho can replicate the form that he showed under Pellegrini. Iheanacho was bought for a sum of £25.31 Million. The 20-year-old is similar to Vardy in terms of pace and already has Premier League experience and Leicester fans will be hoping that he hits the ground running.
