Iheanacho has been named as the most deadly striker in the history of the English Premier League.

This was as a result of his display of unique skills on Monday 26, December at the KCOM stadium.

That goal at the KCOM Stadium makes the Super Eagles attacker the player with the best goals-to-minutes ratio of any other in the League’s history. Super sports report.

The 20-year-old Nigerian stands ahead of other top-10 members Thierry Henry, Zlatan Ibrahmovic, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Luis Suarez is now the most prolific footballer in Premier League history.

In comparison to Iheanacho, fellow City striker Aguero has scored his 112 Premier League goals at a rate of one every 107 minutes and former Arsenal ace, Henry scored his 175 Premier League goals at a rate of one per 122 minutes.

Iheanacho’s 12th goal for Man City came from just his 19th shot in 38 league appearances – and is all the more impressive considering the Nigerian only made his top-flight debut last season under Manuel Pellegrini. Sunnews reports.

While some may be surprised to see Iheanacho at the top of such a prestigious list, the Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola is not exactly gobsmacked as he noted in his press conference shortly after the win against Hull that the Nigerian youngster has an innate talent to notch up goals.

“He has this quality to score goals,” Guardiola simply said of his Nigerian charge.
Many say Iheanacho has not really been given a fair chance to stake a claim as City’s number one striker but he continues to underline his potential with the premium opportunities he gets.
