Super Eagles player, Kelechi Iheanacho’s recent form and goals for his club side, Leicester City have cut the fancy of Super Eagles German coach Gernot Rohr ahead of the forthcoming 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Benin and Lesotho.
The Super Eagles will be a way to the Benin Republic on March 27 and will complete their Group L qualifiers on March 30 against Lesotho at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos.
Rohr told NationSport that he is happy that Kelechi scored three goals for Leicester City against Sheffield United saying the goals will give him confidence and more games with Leicester.
The former Bayern Munich defender said he had long kept his faith with the former Manchester City’s striker even when he was sparingly used by the Foxes a few months back.
He added that the striker is now experienced enough to cope with the demands and pressure of playing for both club and country.
