Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho has been named Leicester City player of the season in a low-key ceremony, www.aclsports.com reports.

The former City man only started 13 games in all competitions this term but still contributed a combined 13 goals and assists.

Iheanacho’s season hit a high in February when he scored twice and set up three more goals across the two wins against Aston Villa and Tottenham, while he produced a heroic moment in the 1-1 draw with Leeds, setting up Jamie Vardy for the equalizer despite tearing his groin in the build-up.

With the club in the relegation battle, their annual awards night was cancelled, and there has been little or no fanfare about the award following their demotion to the Championship.

Meanwhile, Iheanacho is hoping for a quick return to the PL for Leicester. “I’m so disappointed,” Iheanacho told LCFC TV after his side’s relegation. “I have no words. I don’t know what to say.

“I just say thanks to everyone at the Football Club, the fans and everyone that supported us right from the start to now. If life kicks you, you need to stand up and keep going. We’ll try to keep going, stay strong, and hopefully we’ll get back up.”

“It’s a bad time for the Club and for everyone,” the Nigeria international added. “We can’t go back now, thinking about it. We have to move forward. The fans were really amazing today. Even at the end, they were clapping and trying to support us. It’s a hard one, going down, so I just want to thank them for all their support and everything they’ve done.

Iheanacho follows in the footsteps of James Maddison, Youri Vardy, and Ricardo Pereira, who have won the award in the past four seasons.
