Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho has been nominated for the Premier League Player and Goal of the Month awards for April.
The 24-year-old continued with his blistering performances for the King Power Stadium outfit in the month under review.
Iheanacho has now been shortlisted for the best player in the English top-flight for the second consecutive time after winning March’s award, the first such achievement in his career.
The Nigeria international scored four league goals in April, bagging a brace against West Ham United, and followed it up with strikes against West Bromwich Albion and Crystal Palace.
The fine displays in front of goal helped Brendan Rodgers’ men hold on to their third spot on the Premier League table.
Iheanacho is now in line to reap a reward for his impressive performances and will slug it out against Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold and Leeds United’s Stuart Dallas for a chance to nick the individual accolade.
The attacker will also battle Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood, West Ham United’s Jesse Lingard, West Bromwich Albion’s Matheus Pereira, Newcastle United’s Allan Saint-Maximin, and Burnley’s Chris Wood. (Goal)
