Kelechi Iheanacho will not be leaving Leicester City in January, insists Foxes boss Claude Puel

Leicester boss Claude Puel insists £25million striker Kelechi Iheanacho will stay with the Foxes this month.

The Frenchman is not prepared to write off the former Manchester City forward, who has scored just once for the club this term.

Iheanacho joined Leicester in the summer but has made just two Premier League starts and had been linked with a transfer window move.

Nigeria boss Gernot Rohr said earlier this week he expected Iheanacho and international team-mate Ahmed Musa to leave the King Power Stadium because of their lack of action but Puel dismissed any exit talk.
