Kelechi
Iheanacho is staying with Manchester City until 2021
|
Kelechi Iheanacho has
signed a two-year contract extension to commit himself to Manchester City until
2021.
Press
Association report continues:
The
19-year-old Nigerian hit 14 goals in his breakthrough campaign at the Etihad
Stadium last term, and now looks set for a pivotal role under new boss Pep
Guardiola.
City's
new boss has already made headway on a rapid overhaul of his squad, but fresh
terms for Iheanacho suggest the teenager will continue to command regular
first-team action.
"I
can't express how I'm feeling, I'm very happy to sign my deal for this club,
I'm excited," Iheanacho told City's official website.
"I
just need to keep working hard and express my feelings on the pitch, and work
really well and do great things for the team.
"I'm
happy and I appreciate everything the club has done for me so far at this point
so I really need to help and work for them as well."
City
boss Guardiola admitted Iheanacho has already impressed with his approach since
the former Barcelona manager arrived in the north west over the summer.
"Kelechi
is a natural goal-scorer," said Guardiola.
"I
knew about him before, but I've been really impressed with him since I arrived.
"I like his personality, his attitude, his ability: we hope to help him reach the highest level and to realize his full potential."
