Man City Coach Heaps More Praise On Kelechi Iheanacho

Manchester City manager, Manuel Pellegrini, has heaped more praise on Nigerian talent Kelechi Iheanacho on the heels of his imperious performance in the 4 - 0 thrashing of Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday.

Though the Flying Eagles star failed to find the back of the net against the Eagles for the first time in his career, he teed up Argentine international Sergio Aguero for City’s second goal.

“Kelechi is a very important player. Every game he plays, he takes positively. Today, he had a great impact, ” Pellegrini said on Saturday.
 
“I had to make the substitution because Aleks Kolarov was injured and we needed tall players for set pieces.

“He has a bright future at this football Club.”

In 16 games for the Citizens across all competitions, Iheanacho has been involved in 8 goals ( 5 goals and 3 assists).
