Kelechi Iheanacho has had a great spell with Man City ever since he burst onto the scene and if anyone thought that a change in manager might mean he would play less, then they have been proved wrong with the striker thriving under Pep Guardiola.
He was the one who took control of things while Sergio Aguero was suspended and knowing the Argentine’s record with injuries it would not be surprising if the Nigerian gets a lot of game time this season.
“I’m not letting all the praise get to my head because I still have a lot to learn in this game,” Iheanacho has scored 3 goals in 7 appearances already this season and just wants to focus on his game.
“It’s been a very progressive period for me at the club, but playing alongside stars like Sergio [Aguero], Yaya [Toure] and other great players provides a big chance to keep working hard.
“I’m definitely learning, quietly listening and watching others closely every day – I know in doing that I will achieve bigger things in my career.”
He is happy to prove himself to coach Pep Guardiola and he talked up the qualities.
“We have experienced players in the team and as someone who is learning and improving, I am happy to take my chance when the manager calls,
“Our manager has confidence in me and has been encouraging me. All I want to do right now is to keep learning under him and work hard for the club.”
