The former U17 star made a big impression during his
side's victory over Sporting KC in their tour of
America as he nudged the last goal in a 4-1 triumph

Nigerian youngster Kelechi
Iheanacho scored the final
goal in Manchester City’s
4-1 win over Sporting KC at
the Sporting Park, Kansas on
Wednesday.
The 17-year-old got a lay off from Jesus Navas and
placed his shot low into the left corner to give the
Citizens a very well deserved rout in their first game
during their tour of America.
The visitors took the lead via Bruno Zuculini before
C.J Sarpong got the hosts' equalizer. But Dedryck
Boyata restored the lead before Aleksander Kolarov
extended it from the spot after Scott Sinclair was
brought down and Iheanacho made it four on 88
minutes.
He also had two shots on goal in two minutes saved
by the goalkeeper during the game as he shone
brightly underlining his impressive talent
This warranted praise from City boss Manuel
Pellegrini after the match.
“Kelechi is just 17 years old and he’s a very important
player for us in the future,” Pellegrini was quoted by
Daily Mail.
“He demonstrated today what he can do in the future.
It depends on the way he takes this profession, but I
think he’s a good talent.
Having not secured work permit, Pellegrini said a final
decision had not yet been made if he will able to stay
with the club or go on loan.
“We’ve not decided yet (what the plan is for him)
because it’s not easy. He’s just 17 and sometimes
that’s the problem.
“We’ll see what he will do in the future. For the
moment he will stay with us and we’ll see when we
return to England what will happen with him. But he’s
a very important player for the future for the club.
"After the tour we will see what happens with him.
There are a lot of things to arrange to play in England
but he has an important future."
Iheanacho was voted best player at the 2013 Fifa U17
World Cup where he scored six goals in seven
matches as Nigeria won the title for a fourth time.
