As they file out against Chelsea football club at the Wembley Stadium on Saturday, May 15, Nigerians have taken to social media to wish Leicester City stars Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi the very best.

The Super Eagles duo have been outstanding for the Foxes so far this season with Iheanacho already scoring 18 goals in all competitions this season including 11 Premier League goals.

The striker shot Leicester City into the FA Cup finals following their 1-0 win over Southampton at the last month.

The Nigerian international continued his impressive scoring form for the Foxes as he grabbed the only goal of the game in the second half.

On the other hand Ndidi has been in great form for Leicester City in their campaign at the ongoing Premier League season as the Foxes are currently occupying third position on the table.

Brendan Rodgers hailed the midfielder claiming that the Nigerian has been of great advantage to his squad.

And ahead of the final against Chelsea, Nigerians have taken to social media to wish the pair luck when they file out against the Blues on Saturday afternoon.

A fan wrote:

“All the best to Nigerian duo; Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho in today's FA Cup final.”

A second added:

"Every Nigerian wants to see Ndidi and Iheanacho lift the FA Cup today, every Nigerian except the ‘Agberos’ amongst us."

A third added:

"We are all Leicester City today. We are supporting 'the senior man' Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is already hoping to grab his first trophy for the club.

The Stamford Bridge outfit are gunning for the ninth FA Cup title in a showdown billed to kick-off at 5.15pm. C

Chelsea last won the title in 2018 having defeated rivals Manchester United 1-0 in the final and they will need to bounce back from their 1-0 loss to Arsenal in the league.

Loss to the Gunners saw the club denied the chance to move above the Foxes on the Premier League standings, meaning they go into the encounter with Chelsea in 4th position – one place below Leicester.
