Former Captain of Austria National team, Christian Fuchs has labelled Iheanacho "The Best Penalty Taker I've Seen".

Fuchs, at 34, is one of the oldest active players in the league and has played in 8 different teams in his career yet rates Iheanacho as an unbelievable penalty taker.

In his club career, Iheanacho has only played two penalties. And yes, he scored both.

We have Ejaria and Aribo who are capable of creating on their own and contributing to the defensive duties as well

No 10s are outdated

In 36 championship games,Ejaria got 5 assists and created less than 1 chance per game according to sofascore stats..
Aribo himself is kind of better..

No.10s aren't outdated.. some teams just find an alternative style of play that doesn't require having a no.10 .

If you think a midfield combo of Ejaria and Aribo will create a lot of chance for us,you are mistaken...

Elohor Ekpolo starts for BK Hacken vs Norrkoping.
While, 18yrs old Midfielder, Ishaq Abdulrazak of Norrkoping starts from the bench.



Also in the Swedish Allsvenskan, 20yrs old highly rated Youngster, Alhassan Yusuf starts for IFK Goteborg vs Ostersunds FK (Jordan Attah's former side).

Eric Garcia is close to a move from Manchester City to Barcelona to replace Pique.

That means Adarabioyo might be back up defender for Manchester City. The player has been talking tough about breaking into the first team, wants to be EPL and UCL winner as well as club captain in 5 years. All this after a fine loan spell at Blackburn.

At this rate Nigeria might find it difficult to poach him.

I can totally understand why he would say that. Nacho never missed for Nigeria also. He does the little pause like Bruno and Jorginho but he doesn't hop with his.

I remember Pellegrini telling Sterling to give a penalty to Iheanacho against his wife Aston Villa grin

I've seen his clips, He is good and a transfer of 10m or around that will put him in the spotlight

In my experience video clips are indicative and can easily be contrived, l never conclude on a player based on video clips.

However, if those clips are of individual games not a collection of games compressed into one video. Then you have a more comprehensive view.

I remember him very well.

He came highly recommended but could not cut it in league one with kick and rush Fleetwood town.

A lot of players that can't make it even at English non league consider the Nordic leagues as an option.

'Kelechi's Never Missed A Penalty' - Ndidi Names Iheanacho As Leicester's Top Man When It Comes To Spot Kicks

Wilfred Ndidi has argued that his international teammate Kelechi Iheanacho is Leicester City's top player when it comes to taking penalty kicks, and it has been echoed by Austrian left-back Christian Fuchs.

Since Iheanacho arrived at the King Power Stadium from Manchester City, the Foxes have been awarded 21 penalty kicks, but the Super Eagle appears to be way down in the pecking order of spot kick takers.

Premier League Golden Boot winner Jamie Vardy is the designated penalty taker, scoring 14 out of 17, while James Maddison, Ayoze Perez and Demarai Gray have been chosen to take the rest.

When asked to name the Leicester City player he'd back to score a decisive kick, Ndidi was quoted as saying by Leicestershire Live:
"Kelechi’s never missed a penalty. I’ve never seen him miss a penalty," to which Fuchs agreed.

Perez doubted Ndidi, saying : "When is he even taking penalties?"

Ndidi replied: "You’ve not seen him? He never misses," before Fuchs added: "He’s unbelievable. The best penalty taker I’ve seen."


Iheanacho scored the winning penalty for Leicester City against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup in September 2018.

What do you prefer Aribo and Ejaria creating chances or Iwobi?

Both of them have higher numbers than Iwobi and contribute more defensively, they also make the team more balanced and relieve the defensive workload on Ndidi

And yes No 10s are outdated you will struggle to find a top team using that system

It depends on how the clips are made.

For instance, if l want to find out about a player I'll go to the club video analyst. And say give 10 minutes 10 minute clips of Nnamdi Brown. I can then have a good idea about the player, what he die with the ball and what he does when he doesn't have the ball.

Finally, knowing how things work in Nigeria and Oliseh penchant for players deals through his preferred agent. That's not a good example to justify clips in professional football management.

But clips that people talk about predominantly here it seems are the clips based on a collection of games compressed into a clip or clips.

I will prefer Aribo partnering Ndidi with Iwobi or Eze as a 10... Ejaria isn't a chance creator...go and check his stats..

Your last statement is funny,cus the last time I checked, Kevin De Bryune is currently the best playmaker in the world and he playa for Man City..

Do they know more than the entire coaching staff at Leicester all KC past managers and present manager.

As well as all of his current team mates.

Finally, what else do you expect Ndidi to say, no matter what the truth is.

Valencia have enquired about Chukwueze according to villarrealusa.com. The club value the player at €40M but have set his starting price at €25M because of the economic situation caused by coronavirus.

Another site, lebombedivlad.it., have confirmed Chukwueze's value to be 25M, more than half of his release close.

This is their statement via Brilla,

“Atalanta has overtaken Napoli in the race to sign Boga, valued at €30m, but the Partenopei believe they can get Chukwueze for €25m if they don’t get Boga.”

Aribo is actually hindered creatively in sitting behind for defensive duties alongside Ndidi, Man city can afford to do it because De Bruyne is a top class creator and Iwobi is not De Bruyne, it would actually make sense for Ejaria to partner Aribo in midfield to create and defend equally

As for you saying Ejaria is not a creator that is a lie

Do you know that professional clubs use Football Manager games to me scout players?

And do you know that Football Manager in turn encourages players to send clips of them in training to update attributes in the game?

If they use games why can't they use videos?
