One name stuck out in the Golden Eaglets 6 - 1 hammering of the young Tricolor of Mexico - Kelechi Iheanacho.

Kelechi Iheanacho, who is being chased by a plethora of clubs in the English Premier League including Arsenal, has said that the team have improved since they encountered the Latin Americans in their Group F opener.

“I’m sure they won’t feel great about that first result . They’ll want to put pressure on us and we’ll have to be careful.

During the tournament, Kelechi Iheanacho has played mainly as an attacking midfielder but can also be handy in attack.

“We have to work as a team, play as a team. This is how you win matches,” he added.
