Kelechi Iheanacho Offers Best Chance Of Surpassing Yekini

"And believe me I don't want to jinx it too.

The Goalfather's record stands at 37 goals in 58 appearances. An impressive goal ratio of 0.64. So impressive that of all the Nigerian players to hit double figures for the Super Eagles with any amount of appearances, none comes close to the ratio.

Such was the reliability of the Goalfather, that even though he was not the most clinical and to be fair quite wasteful, you expected him to get you a goal"

I saw this and thought to share. Quite a nice analysis to it

Ok, but what has "Kelechi Iheanacho" have to do with this? To sensationalize?

I don't envisage Kelechi reaching stardom to the level of Yekeni. He apparently devoid of hunger . He is not regularly playing at Manchester city but in a recent interview he claims he loves the team that definitely indicates he is satisfied with his situation in the team. Surely he lacks the zeal to be the best. With such complacent attitudes I don't see coming close to Yekeni's record.

Yekini broke into the SE in '84/85 and did not become "Yekini" until '90/92. Prior to '90, he was very wasteful. Nacho only broke in last year and is ahead of Yekini at this stage of his career.

Can we get Lookman from Everton? He hasn't played senior national team ball yet.

KPOM, Yekini broke into the national team in 83/84.

I think he can but he will have to leave city first for that to happen. They are holding him back.

succinctly and exactly what I'm saying. But if he develops Mikel's phlegmatic and copacetic attitude to whatever is dished out to him in Manchester city he is heading nowhere . He must have some hunger in him , quit to accept limitations impose on him , be willing to move on to other teams that will give enough chance to compete . I was disappointed when he said recently he is very happy with Manchester city. I hope we don't have another Mikel in making
