English Championship: It's Never A Battle With Vardy - Iheanacho

Sampson Adedeji

Nigeria's Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho has debunked insinuations that playing in the attack for Leicester City is a big battle between him and Jamie Vardy, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Foxes suffered relegation at the end of last season and Iheanacho is one of the players many thought would depart the club.

The Nigerian international decided to stay at the King Power Stadium and his stay has contributed immensely to the improved performance of the team.

Just like Vardy, Iheanacho has been consistent in terms of performance and goal-scoring for the club this season.

The former Manchester City attacker was on target for Leicester City last weekend and denied having a rivalry with the former England International.

"Let me put that right, it’s never a battle with me and Jamie, he’s a legend in the game, and he’s done a lot for this great club, so it’s never a battle for me and Jamie.

 â€œI’ve got absolute respect for him, he’s a legend as I’ve said before, so it’s never a battle.

“If he plays, he scores, you know what he’s like. So, if I play, I do my bit. Me, Jamie, Patson (Daka), it’s never a battle, we are happy with where we are at the moment", he told the club media.
