Kelechi Iheanacho has signed a new three-year contract with Leicester City as a reward for his stunning recent form.

The Nigerian takes on former club Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday after scoring seven goals in his last four games.

Iheanacho, who earns about £60,000 a week, had one year left on his contract at the end of the campaign and the club have shown him how highly they value the 24-year-old having stepped up under Brendan Rodgers.
