Super Eagles duo of Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi will work under new manager Dean Smith at Leicester City until the end of the season.

52-year-old Smith left Norwich earlier this season after previous spells at Aston Villa and Brentford.

He now replaces Brendan Rodgers, who ended his reign at the King Power Stadium following a poor run this season that has left the Foxes seeking survival.
