Molson Canadian Posted 7 July 2017 Posted 7 July 2017 https://realsport101.com/news/sports/football/leicester-city-best-use-25m-striker-kelechi-iheanacho/ As Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho edges closer to a £25 million move to Leicester City, RealSport have profiled the 20-year-old and analysed how best he’d fit in at the King Power. Background Kelechi Iheanacho was born on the 3rd October 1996 in Imo, Nigeria, coming through the Manchester City ranks after impressing in Nigeria’s Taye Academy from 2011-14. However, it was Iheanacho’s performances in the 2013 FIFA U17 World Cup that attracted widespread from some of Europe’s top clubs, leading to his recognition in the ‘Most Promising Talent of the Year’ at the Confederation of African Football awards the same year. He formally signed for City on his birthday in 2014, making his Premier League debut in August 2015, coming on as a substitute in a 2-0 win against Watford. He scored his first competitive goal for the club on the 12th September, the only goal of a 1-0 win against Crystal Palace, again as a substitute coming on in the final minute. He netted his first hat-trick for the club in the FA Cup Fourth Round against Aston Villa in 2016 and has gone to score a very respectable 21 goals in 64 games for Manchester City’s first team, despite his role as a sub and bit-part player. He has represented Nigeria at U17 and U20 level and had consequently made ten appearances for the first team squad, scoring a very impressive six goals. Leicester City’s fox in the box Goals, goals and goals. That’s what the Nigerian will bring to Leicester City. Iheanacho is a natural finisher and a real fox in the box, excuse the pun. Iheanacho has a wonderful knack of being in the right place at the time and his reading of the game and mature anticipation are why he has such an impressive goals-to-minutes ratio. For instance, in December 2016 he netted against Hull City, meaning he was scoring a goal every 96 minutes in the league, which was the best record for any player who had scored at least ten league goals. At one point in his early career, in fact, he had the best goals-to-games ratio of any striker in Premier League history. He also joined a very exclusive list of players to have scored ten league goals before their 20th birthday with a goal in the 4-0 win against Bournemouth in October 2016, a list that contains the likes of Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs and Romelu Lukaku. Iheanacho’s versatility The Nigerian is also versatile and has shown he can play out wide or as a second striker, although he does all of his best work inside the oppositions penalty box. This bodes well for Leicester, who typically play two strikers up front, so Iheanacho could theoretically partner one of Jamie Vardy, Shinji Okazaki or Islam Slimani up front. A Vardy-Iheanacho little-large partnership would probably be most effective, however. He is a creative player and can certainly get involved with his team mates in the build-up to attacks. His first touch is extremely impressive, typifying his overall composure for someone of such a younf age. Despite his tender years, he has never once looked flustered playing in the Premier League and, in truth, he can count himself a little unlucky to not be more of a regular at Manchester City, but not many players in world football would get chosen over Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus. Who will Iheanacho partner? It seems that Craig Shakespeare is going to stick to playing two up front, as we’ve said, and adding Iheanacho would certainly add to the quality and depth already at the Englishman’s disposal. The 2015/16 Premier League champions have a wealth of attacking talent, and you feel one must make way. Jamie Vardy is their best striker and is still a major threat with his pace and runs in behind the defence, though he’s ageing and it will be interesting to see if Iheanacho can play and link up with the Englishman or if they will be used as more of a rotation basis. Iheanacho’s style of play would certainly suit partnering Shinji Okazaki up top, with the latter’s extreme work rate and appreciation to drop deep meaning Iheanacho can spend more time focussed on getting into goalscoring positions. The graphic above depicts how the duo would work, with Okazaki dropping deeper, more as a number ten, dragging defenders with him and creating space in the box for Iheanacho to attack. The 20-year-old could also form a very good partnership with Islam Slimani. The Algerian is an extremely imposing presence and with Leicester’s direct style of play, Iheanacho could really benefit from any knock downs from Slimani, such is his awareness of space and timing inside the penalty area. With Slimani as the back-to-goal target man, it frees up Iheanacho to attack the box from a deeper position. The point to make is that Iheanacho has an impressive goal-scoring record for a youngster traditionally used as a substitute and his potential is as plain as day. He offers a variety of options for Leicester either as a pair or a lone striker and for £25 million and massive resale value, it’s a steal.

Nigeria is a power house of untapped talent.

SheppyFox Posted 7 July 2017 Author Posted 7 July 2017 Is his favourite position sat behind two strikers? That's the only thing I don't get, whether he plays behind a single striker or a part of the attacking midfield behind both others?
