extension with Manchester City to extend his stay at the club until 2021, the
Premier League side announced on Thursday.
The 19-year-old youngster established himself in the City first team last season, scoring 14 times in all competitions including eight goals in 26 Premier League outings.
This season, much is expected of the teenage hitman under Pep Guardiola, with
the forward tipped to progress and develop his game under the tutelage of the
Spanish coach.
Iheanacho has already made an impact during a brief cameo appearance
against Sunderland, when he pressured Black Cats debutant Paddy McNair into
scoring an own goal to give the Citizens a 2-1 victory in Guardiola’s first match.
The new contract is a demonstration of just how highly the club and Guardiola
think of Iheanacho, particularly considering the largescale changes that the
Spanish coach is expected to implement at the Etihad Stadium.
