Leicester City welcome the Spanish outfit to Filbert Way for the Club's only home pre-season fixture of the summer on Wednesday (7:45pm BST kick-off) – and Foxes fans can be there, with remaining tickets now on general sale.

Ahead of the game, fans will be able to pick up their copy of the 84-page official matchday magazine, which alongside Iheanacho's interview, features exclusives with new LCFC Women signing Georgia Brougham and youth prospect Ben Nelson. 

Also included will be all the regular features the Foxes faithful have come to expect, including notes from Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, manager Brendan Rodgers and Club Ambassador Alan 'The Birch' Birchenall, as well as John Hutchinson's fascinating heritage section. 

Speaking inside Wednesday's programme, Iheanacho, City's top goalscorer in all competitions last term, discussed his objectives for the new season.

It will be hugely different. Playing for so long without fans makes you realise just how important they are.

"Personally, I don’t really set targets," he said. "Of course you want to strive for the best, but I don’t set targets. I like to take things as they come. You never know what’s going to happen from game to game. If I was to set targets and they weren’t to be achieved, I don’t know how that would alter my mentality."

The Nigeria international is also pleased to have the chance to play in front of a large home crowd on Filbert Way and emphasised their importance.

"It will be hugely different," the 24-year-old added. "Playing for so long without fans makes you realise just how important they are. Here’s an example: when the gaffer or the coaches shout when you’re on the ball and you have a player on you, you can kind of hear them.

"But when home fans are in the ground and you hear the roar of ‘man on’ or something, they have an impact on your awareness. It’s things like that which have been missed by every team – and that will be back this season. We can’t wait to have them back in the stadium."
