Kelechi Iheanacho (Manchester City)

This would be a player that we should be attempting to bring in. The 20-year-old Nigerian striker is a stud and it would be foolish of Manchester City to sell him. He has been reported on Southampton’s radar however and we have been in contact about a potential deal with Manchester City about the striker.

He had quite the fantastic season if you dive into the stats. Iheanacho scored a goal every 131 minutes while playing extremely limited times for Manchester City. He has the potential to be one the best in the world, but that just doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen at the Citizens with Aguero and Gabriel Jesus.
