This last transfer window, a slew of Nigerian players did not make good use of it, we take a look at some of them. 

Kelechi Iheanacho was one of the most highly-rated youngsters in the Premier League when Leicester City splashed £25m on him. Two years later, his career has stalled so much that he has lost his place at both the club and national team. 

With no playing time at Leicester City, the 22-year-old was expected to leave the club to seek regular playing time but he didn’t move an inch. 

He is yet to make an appearance for the Foxes this season and with the options in front of him for Brenden Rodgers, Iheanacho might get used to life on the bench until at least January.
