Iheanacho debuts on Walkers range of snacks for launch April 18

 

Things are definitely looking up for Super Eagles and Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho.  The former Manchester City ace has recently seized the headlines with his impressive goals especially in the FA cup

Iheanacho who featured as Super Eagles brushed aside Squirrels of Benin Republic and Crocodiles of Lesotho to book a place in next year’s Nations Cup, had earlier written himself into Leicester City folklore with his brilliant brace in the 3-1 win against Manchester United in the FA cup .

Snacks Company Walkers are set to launch the Nigerian in a big way come April 18.  The company is adding ‘ IheaNACHOS’ to the range of snacks.

And now his name will go down in CRISPORY as Leicester-based snacks giant Walkers are to mark their first semi-final for 39 years by launching a new range of tortilla chips called IheaNACHOS.

They will be in shops before Brendan Rodgers’ men play Southampton at  Wembley on April 18, for the right to face Chelsea or Manchester City in the final.

Leicester and England legend Gary  Lineker will star in a £1million TV advert­ising campaign, which will also reference another of the current City heroes.

The Match of the Day host is screened sitting naked in a bath of crisps, eating the IheaNACHOS from the FA Cup before he looks into the camera and says the slogan: “Will you love ’em? Yes Ndidi!”

Lineker also has a quip at opponents Saints and their manager Hasenhuttl by saying: “They melt in your Ralph.”

And in another dig at Southampton,  IheaNACHOS multi-packs will contain NINE bags — referring to Leicester’s 9-0 win over the Saints in October 2019.

A sauce close to Iheanacho said he is delighted to dip into the tortilla market.

Walker’s spokesman Freddie Salted said: “We are still proud to support Leicester and are proud to commemorate the club’s FA Cup run with our fantastic new brand.

“Just like Kelechi, we are confident that IheaNACHOS will go down well — not only with Foxes fans, but football supporters all over the country.

“We, of course, will be cheering on Brendan’s boys and hoping they can reach the final.

“And if they do, we will then have all our experts  get cracking with developing a champagne flavour.”
