Manchester City’s starlet, Kelechi Iheanacho, has stated that he valued the support so far earned from the star-studded Etihad side.
Iheanacho, who grabbed the match winner in one of his English Premier League appearances, singled out Gael Clichy as his mentor among other top stars.
“They give me confidence, many of them – Yaya, Sergio, Silva, Samir, Gael Clichy as well – he encourages me every time to keep going, keep going, keep chasing the defenders,” he said.
“I wasn’t happy when he was injured so I’m hoping for him to recover quick to give me more confidence.
“I really love them and I’m happy to work with them.”
Speaking further, Iheanacho said: “It’s a dream come true for to play at this level. There is enough confidence given to me from the manager and team.
“I’m hoping to be part of the great things that happen to this team. I hope to be one of the great players – it’s my dream to be a great player in this team.”
