		</div><p>Leicester forward Kelechi Iheanacho has signed a new deal running to 2024, the club have announced.</p>
<p>The 24-year-old Nigeria international, who joined from Manchester City in 2017, has been in sparkling recent form for the Foxes, scoring nine times in his last nine appearances in all competitions.</p>
<p>That included netting five goals in three Premier League matches in March, and he was named the division’s player of the month.</p>
<p>Iheanacho told Leicester’s official website: “I can’t express how I’m feeling. I’m excited, I’m happy, I’m overwhelmed! It’s a great moment and I’m happy that Leicester City gave me a new contract.</p>
<p>“It’s been a great time here. It’s not been easy, but there’s a lot of people here that are good people, great people to work with. They are nice people and they make me feel comfortable and welcome since I came in.</p>
<p>“It’s been really great being here. It’s like a family. I’m happy being here and hopefully I can stay here many more years.”</p>
<p>Iheanacho’s tally this season of 12 is among a total of 32 goals he has registered for Leicester in 117 games in all competitions.</p>
<p>He previously scored 12 goals in 46 league appearances for Manchester City, who Leicester face at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.</p>
<p>Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers said of Iheanacho ahead of the fixture: “I think you see a young player playing at the top of his game.</p>
<p>“When he was at Manchester City he was a young developing player who hadn’t played much. He came here for a big fee (reported to be £25million) and then of course coming into a team with one of the league’s best strikers (Jamie Vardy) has needed some adapting from him.</p>
<p>“I can only speak for the two years I’ve been here but his work, his ambition to become a better player was always there.</p>
<p>“He’s a wonderful character within the squad, constantly smiling, and whatever role he’s been asked to play he’s played it very well.</p>
<p>“The combination between him and Jamie is very good and at 24 there’s a lot of improvement in him.”</p>
