In-form Super Eagles Striker Iheanacho Nominated For Leicester City Goal Of The Month

Published: February 05, 2020

Kelechi Iheanacho's strike against Brentford in the Emirates FA Cup has been shortlisted for Leicester City's Goal of the Month for January 2020.

The Nigeria international put the finishing touches on a move that involved Dennis Praet and James Justin to give the Foxes the lead in the fourth minute.

Iheanacho's game-winning goal earned Brendan Rodgers' side a spot in the fifth round of the FA Cup, where they face Birmingham City.

The 2013 U17 World Cup Golden Ball winner faces stiff competition in his bid to win the Goal of the Month award, with six other players recognized for their goals last month.

Also nominated are strikes by James Maddison, Hamza Choudhury, Admiral Muskwe, Harvey Barnes, Ricardo Pereira and Ayoze Perez.

Iheanacho will discover if he's won the accolade on Wednesday, February 12.
