Kelechi Iheanacho, who left Manchester City for Leicester in the last transfer window, is one of the most impressive forwards in Africa. He played a fine role at Manchester City, despite the nature of competitiveness that existed among players in the club before finally moving away from the Etihad Stadium.

He is a naturally gifted attacker and has good pace, passing ability and can finish. He can also dribble and create chances. Although he has had a quiet start to the season, he is one of the few African youngsters to watch out for in 2018 once he settles in at KP Stadium.
