Kelechi Iheanacho claims he is satisfied with Leicester City’s achievement despite his side’s failure to secure Champions League football next season.
The Nigerian international who described the failure as ‘disappointing’ insisted that the team would turn the situation around next season.
The Foxes’ hopes of playing in the UCL faded into thin air on the last day of the 2020-21 campaign as they fell 4-2 at home to Tottenham Hotspur.
Despite leading 2-1 against Spurs courtesy of Jamie Vardy’s brace, Brendan Rodgers’ men ended up on the losing side with Gareth Bale’s double inspiring the comeback win.
“Disappointed to miss out on UCL qualification, we gave it all until the last moment. I’m proud of my team, winning the FA Cup was a dream for us,” Iheanacho wrote on his Twitter handle.
“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.”
The Foxes alongside West Ham United will be representing England in the Europa League next season.
