Leicester City star Kelechi Iheanacho has been named the Premier League Player of the Month for March.
The 24-year-old joins Jay-Jay Okocha, Peter Odemwingie and Odion Ighalo to win the monthly prize after he scored five goals in three matches in the month of March.
It is also the first individual honour the Super Eagles forward clinched in the English top-flight since he made his debut appearance against Watford in August 2015 for Manchester City.
Iheanacho saw off competition from Manchester City’s Algerian star Riyad Mahrez, Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane, West Ham United’s Jesse Lingard, Leeds United’s Illan Meslier, Manchester United’s Luke Shaw, Brighton & Hove Albion’s Leandro Trossard and Chelsea’s Andreas Christensen. Goal.com
