Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho will aim to continue his impressive run of form in the FA Cup when his Leicester team face League Two side Walsall at the Banks’ Stadium in the fourth round of the competition, PUNCH Sport Extra reports.
The goal against Gillingham was his 16th in just 22 appearances in the FA Cup, which made him the highest goals scorer in the competition since he made his debut in 2016, with Harry Kane in second with 15 goals.
“I can’t recall when it started but whenever we are talking about FA Cup games, the talks are all about my goals and the nickname, ‘Mr. FA Cup’ stuck on me,” he said. Iheanacho grabbed a double in that match before scoring the winner in the semi-final versus Southampton to go two goals clear on the FA top-scoring list for Africans.
