Leicester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho inspired by Kanu, Okocha FA Cup memories

The 21-year-old is eager to follow the footsteps of the Nigerian legends who played in the cup competition

Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho has revealed his desire to emulate Nwankwo Kanu and Jay-Jay Okocha in the English FA Cup.

With a record of seven goals in the annual knockout tournament, Iheanacho hopes to create good memories just like the Super Eagles' legends.

Kanu led Portsmouth to their second ever FA Cup triumph in 2008 with his 37th-minute effort in the final while Okocha featured for Bolton Wanderers and Daniel Amokachi who guided Everton to Wembley in 1995 with his brace against Tottenham Hotspur in the semi-final.
