I’m Disappointed We Failed To Qualify For UCL, Says Iheanacho

Super Eagles striker, Kelechi Iheanacho has expressed disappointment after Leicester City missed out on the Champions League competition on the final day of the 2020/21 Premier League season.

We’ll use this as motivation to be back next season! Thanks to the fans for your support this season. Have a great Summer everyone.”
