Nigerian forward, Kelechi Iheanacho, has been named Leicester City’s player of the season.
Although the Nigerian started 13 games in all games this term, he still contributed a combined 13 goals and assists.
The 26-year-old became the Foxes fans’ favourite since his scoring run in 2021, and this backing has seen him pick up the club’s main gong.
He follows in the footsteps of James Maddison, Jamie Vardy and Ricardo Pereira, who won the award in the past four seasons.
His major moments last season came in February, when he scored twice and set up three more goals across the two wins against Aston Villa and Tottenham, while his heroics in the 1-1 draw with Leeds, playing the pass to set up Jamie Vardy’s equaliser despite tearing his groin.
Right-back Timothy Castagne picked up the Players’ player of the year award, the Belgian, one of City’s more consistent and reliable performers, starting 36 of the 38 Premier League games.
