Manchester City starlet Kelechi Iheanacho has earned the top place on a list of players to have scored in the English Premier League with the highest jersey number since the 2006-2007 season.

The Premier League has announced via official sources that the Manchester City number 72 had the highest shirt number, followed by Gambian striker Modou Barrow, who wears the number 58 kit at Swansea City.

Another Swansea player in the shape of Marvin Emnes made the top five. The Dutchman, who came third, wore the number 57 kit in his debut season with the Welsh outfit.

Denmark international Nicklas Bendtner, who requested for the number 52 kit at Arsenal during the 2009-10 campaign, is joint fourth along with Bobby Zamora.
 
Meanwhile, Kelechi Iheanacho has been omitted from the Man City squad that will tackle Ukrainians Dynamo Kiev in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.
