McCoist who was a pundit on Talksport said that Leicester City striker Iheanacho has more finishing instincts than the former RB Leipzig star.
He said:
“I can see Werner thinking about that chance, where a natural finisher doesn’t.
“If that’s Iheanacho, he doesn’t miss. I can see a slight sense of hesitation.”
