In addition, Iheanacho’s 6 goals in 7 matches saw him win the Silver Boot for finishing as the second best marksman in the competition.

Speaking to the official website of Fifa, fifa.com, the Arsenal target said : “It means a lot to me personally because when I came into the national team camp I felt uneasy.

“A lot of the boys thought maybe I was too small, too skinny to be a good player.

“But I realized now with what I’ve done here that God is preparing something special for me.”
