God I really hope we get this Iheanacho fella soon. I forgot how good he actually was in preseason...
He's got absolutely everything. I know it's only a preseason friendly but he's 17 (that's so fucking young - it really is) in that video playing against adults amongst a bunch of players he doesn't know. His confidence is incredible - such composure in everything he does. He's currently a much more ready prospect than Pozo (as much as i like him) as he has seemingly everything to his game. He's fast, strong, tall, can pass wonderfully and hold up the ball, as well as beat a man, finish clinically and also wallop them in from long range. Pure natural talent that could become genuinely world class.
We need to get him sorted asap.
I watched all of his games from the U17 World Cup & forgetting his running/goalscoring some of his passes are real Silva/Ali Benarbia 'eyes in the back of the head' stuff. It may be a controversial statement, but as an actuall footballer, for seeing things in the game & working with people, I think he can potentially be better than Aguero or Dzeko, very quickly. You can see the potential for a link up with Jovetic, for instance, even in that video. It's taken Sergio how long to successfully work with him ?
Equally contoversially; Kelechi reminds me of videos of Pele at the same age. That's how promising I think he is. I just hope he doesn't suddely grow fat legs or a huge arse or something & lose all his pace. You can never tell at that age.
Would he be able to step in though, or would he count as a signing from another club; in which case even if he gets a permit now, we would have to wait for the window to open.
