Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has described fast-rising star, Kelechi Iheanacho, as a special talent.
The Spaniard stated this after City kept within seven points of Premier League leaders, Chelsea, with a 3-0 win over Hull City on Monday, in which Iheanacho struck his sixth goal of the season.
“Iheanacho didn’t play from the beginning [against Hull] but he has this talent, this quality and with Kun coming back – we cannot forget we played seven games without Kun (Aguero) in all competitions,” he said, as quoted by the club’s official website.
Yaya Toure also praised Iheanacho after the striker found the net against Hull City.
“When you’re young like that, you have to show your hunger,” the midfielder told reporters after the game. “What I tell him all the time, even on the training ground, [is] when you play like that you have to show up and I think today was brilliant for him.
“It was a massive goal. The important second goal gives you a lift [and] lets you continue the game. It made Hull attack and leave space, and the third goal came from that.”
