LEICESTER City manager, Craig Shakespeare has predicted
that Super Eagles forward, Kelechi Iheanacho can form a lethal partnership with
Jamie Vardy this season, Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com reports.
The Nigeria international, who joined the Foxes from Manchester
City in a £25million deal, came off the bench to set up Vardy's second goal
during his debut against Borussia Monchengladbach last Friday.
And Shakespeare, who was impressed by Iheanacho's link-up
play during his cameo appearance, is confident the pair will succeed together.
'They can play together, most definitely,' Shakespeare
told the Leicester Mercury.
'You've seen how they linked up, and good players can. I
think having the depth in the squad is important.
'I thought he was really unselfish for a player making
his debut.
'You would probably think he might take that chance
himself, but to spot Jamie, to play that in with the weight of pass he did for
Jamie to finish it, it shows his awareness and his unselfishness.'
Iheanacho was forced off with a knock to his ankle
shortly after coming on, but he is expected to be fit for Friday night's
opening Premier League clash with Arsenal.
