Iheanacho desperate to break into Manchester City’s first team

Kelechi Iheanacho has admitted he is eager to get his chance for Manchester City next season.
The Nigerian youngster was in fine form against Roma in a pre-season game, setting up Raheem Sterling and scoring too, as City played out a 2-2 draw within regulation time.
However, the 18-year-old is not unaware of the challenge he faces to break into Manuel Pellegrini’s squad.
“I hope to play this year because I have been training hard and working with the team last season,” he said.
“I hope to break into the first team this year. The manager just says to me to work hard every day”, Iheanacho said.
“I feel very honoured playing with Raheem because he is a very good player,” he added.
“He is intelligent and skillful and strong, so it was very good to play alongside him. He’s very easy to play with.
“I am a young player trying to grow, so I hope to learn some things from him – and also from the other players as well.”
