#6 Kelechi Iheanacho (19) – Manchester City
Kelechi Iheanacho has been earmarked as one of the game’s biggest prospects, ever since he led Nigeria to U-17 World Cup glory in 2017. Joining Txiki Begiristain’s Manchester City bandwagon, he has established himself as Sergio Aguero’s protege in Guardiola’s high flying team.
With the best goals per minute ratio in the Premier League last season, it is fair to say that Iheanacho has taken every chance that has come his way – remember the Manchester Derby?
Already the lynchpin of his nation’s attack – he has scored thrice in five games for the Super Eagles – Iheanacho is the symbol of a bright new wave that is lifting Nigerian football, along with the likes of Alex Iwobi and Ahmed Musa.
With Aguero and the incoming Brazilian wonderkid, Gabriel Jesus, he promises (Promise is aptly his middle name) to take Manchester City to the zenith of club football with goals galore.
