"I don't even know how I feel right now. I'm so disappointed. I don't know what to say," he told both publications.

The Nigerian thanked the club, its fans, and everyone who supported Leicester from the beginning to where they had unfortunately ended.

"I know it is a hard one to take. Whatever it is, we would keep going and stay strong, and hopefully, we would get back up."

Iheanacho described the club's relegation situation as a 'downturn'.

"Nobody is really happy at this time. It is about timing for the club and [for] everyone. We just need to chill and move on. It is not what we want... We can't go back now thinking about it. We just have to move forward."
