Manuel Pellegrin: More To Come From Iheanacho

Manchester City Manager Manuel Pellegrini says there is much more to come from his Nigeria youngster Kelechi Iheanacho. The midfielder cum attacker scored his EPL debut and winning goal against Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon as the former Champion continue their blistering form. 

The Chilean born tactician believes that the Iheanacho will only get better in years to come and added he has plenty of hard work ahead of him.‎
‎
‎"Kelechi scored the goal and he had another chance. Kelechi is a very young player- he's just 18 years old. He worked with the rest of the team all week," Pellegrini told the club official website.
‎
"Last season, he was very unlucky because he had an injury which meant he couldn't play the last few month but this season, he spent pre-season with the squad and his is one for the future.

"In front of him are Kun and Bony who are very good players, but he is an important striker who still has a lot to improve."‎
