World Cup 2018: Top 10 young forwards to keep an eye on in Russia

#8 Kelechi Iheanacho (Nigeria)

Iheanacho will be itching to get among the goals in Russia

Iheanacho needs no introduction. The Nigerian forward has played for Manchester City and is currently at Leicester City.

Iheancho was touted to be one of the best young talents in the Premier League. He managed to score 8 goals in his first season with Manchester City. He was offloaded by Pep Guardiola and he made a move to Leicester City. He hasn't had the impact he would have liked to have had.

Jamie Vardy's form meant that Iheanacho started most of the games on the bench. For Leicester, Iheanacho has managed to score 9 goals in 30 appearances across all competitions last season. He managed to end his season on a strong note and will be hoping to carry his form to Russia.

Although experienced Nigerian players like Victor Moses, Ahmed Musa and John Obi-Mikel will be vital, expect the young Nigerian to make a difference.
