Adam Bate examines the youngster’s breakthrough season and why there’s so much more to come… Man City cruise into third Man City moved up to third after trouncing Stoke In the language of the Igbo people of southern Nigeria, Iheanacho has a meaning - what we are looking for or that thing we seek. Maybe thats how Kelechi Iheanachos breakthrough feels for Manchester City and their fans. Not only does the 19-year-old freshen up an ageing squad but hes become the back-up option Wilfried Bony was supposed to be. Iheanachos composure was impressive as he slotted home against Stoke Not that Iheanacho sees it as a competition. He describes Bony as his big brother. But the comparison doesnt reflect well on the man signed for £25m just last year. Despite receiving more than twice as many starts as the teenager this season, Bony is now being outscored in the league and the cups. Two goals against Stoke took Iheanachos total to 11. Both were expertly taken. For the first, he was savvy enough to check his run in order to find space and finish neatly. For the second, he burst away from three opponents before calmly rounding goalkeeper Jakob Haugaard. Look how effortlessly he moves, enthused Jamie Redknapp in the Sky Sports studio. Hes a natural born finisher. Jamie Redknapp says he is so impressed with Manchester City forward Iheanacho Young guns Kelechi Iheanacho is the second youngest player to score in this season’s Premier League, behind only Marcus Rashford. Even before his goals, Iheanacho had helped earn his side a penalty and was rewarded with the man-of-the-match award. Its the first time hes been preferred to a fit Bony in a Premier League starting line-up. It wont be the last.Iheanachos five Premier League goals - including the stoppage-time winner at Crystal Palace - have come in just 518 minutes at a strike rate only bettered by team-mate Sergio Aguero and Liverpools Daniel Sturridge. In all competitions, his record is superior even to theirs. Hes found the net once every 81 minutes this season. Best strike rates Premier League 2015/16 Club Mins per goal Sergio Aguero Man City 95 Daniel Sturridge Liverpool 100 Kelechi Iheanacho Man City 104 Its a reward for Manuel Pellegrinis faith. Cheap Jerseys Wholesale. Hes had a lot of belief from the manager, to be honest, goalkeeper Joe Hart told Sky Sports after the game on Saturday. Hes been brilliant, having turned up last pre-season somewhat unknown I think its fair to say.Although he found the net in a friendly against AC Milan as long ago as that summer of 2014, Iheanachos impact last season was restricted by a serious injury. And yet, Pellegrini saw enough. He has repeatedly pointed out that the players promise was a key factor in the clubs decision not to replace either Stevan Jovetic or Edin Dzeko. Manuel Pellegrini hailed Iheanachos performance in the win over Stoke I see Kelechi every day and know what he can do, said Pellegrini recently. Intriguingly, it seems that what he can do is far more than whats been seen so far. He scores lots of goals but he is not just a penalty box player, added Pellegrini after the performance against Stoke. I am sure that his role in this team will be very important.Theres a reason for the confidence. City had been tracking Iheanacho even before he starred at the 2013 Under-17 World Cup, but they could hardly miss him that autumn given that the final of that tournament took place in front of 20,000 people in Abu Dhabi. Iheanacho scored and promptly picked up the Golden Ball award for best player. Iheanacho was the star of Nigerias Under-17 World Cup win in 2013 What was interesting about his efforts out in the Emirates was that he operated in a deeper role, producing six assists as well as his six goals. He set up both in the quarter-final against Uruguay and the opener in the semi-final against Sweden. It wasnt all about the finishing.FIFAs technical report on the tournament described him as an outstanding attacking midfielder, dangerous in front of goal [with] good technique and vision. This was the talent that City bought, paying £350,000 to beat Porto to his services. Iheanacho, pictured alongside Pablo Zabaleta, is still improving Hes a better player now, as youd expect given his age - and his attitude. I think Im improving a lot, Iheanacho told Sky Sports in his post-match interview. But I really need to work harder in training and in games to show my qualities.Will he get another chance against Real Madrid on Tuesday? Aguero remains irreplaceable, of course, but the option is there. If you are looking at midweek and the Champions League and who youd bring on if things arent going your way, hed probably go in ahead of Wilfried Bony, added Redknapp. Iheanacho. Hes the man City have been looking for. Also See: Man City 4 Stoke 0 Pellegrini on Iheanacho Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
