Manchester City starlet Kelechi Iheanacho has spoken about his happiness at earning his first senior call up to the Nigeria squad ahead of Friday’s 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifier against Swaziland.
The forward was called up by Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh following impressive displays for City in recent weeks.
Iheanacho (below) says he’s “honoured” to be deemed worthy to pull on the green and white strip and has now spoken about his keenness to help the three-time African champions put Sihlangu Semnikati to the sword on Friday.

“I am happy to be with the (Super Eagles) and the players who are based in Europe.
“I play with experienced players at Manchester City so there will be no shyness and I will not feel that I am playing alongside players that are more experienced than me.
“I am full of confidence and I am sure I can add something to this team,” he said.
Iheanacho has scored twice in all competitions for City this season.
