Iwobi and Iheanacho are not over six feet oooooo!

According to Wiki( not my favorite source) Iwobi is 5'11 which is approx 6ft
Iwobi is 6ft 1, same as Iheanacho. Ayo you done come again oo
Iheanacho is definitely not 6"1. De Bruyne is 5'11 is definitely taller than Iheanacho when they were playing together so I would guess probably about 5"10 ish. Iwobi is probably a fraction under 6ft (6ft believable).
I wouldn't pay attention to some of these sites. Chinedu Obasi is still reported as 6"2.

Yes - the relatively short ones were very strong physically.
Physical in football means pace and speed
Nope. Being able to hold off challenges is also important. In the modern game, lightweight players struggle to succeed because they are pushed off the ball a lot.

Based on what evidence? Please don't tell me you just eye balled him. I just furnished you with Leicester City's website info on Kelechi. You think the club just guessed? They pay him 25 million for just guessing.
You are really funny aha.. Hahahahaha

Leicester website is wrong (and yes this does happens, I can list numerous of examples) or he could have been measured in footwear. Either way it is not correct. He is not 6"1, he would probably tell you that himself.

I am sure he's at least 6"... same as Iwobi

@ highbury,
I usually don't bother but I thought for your future reference. The Leicester website where you got your info from also lists Ndidi as 6"0 (which is wrong btw), meaning that Iheanacho is somehow taller than Ndidi.

What is your own with Argentina 'fixation'?
We are talking Nigeria, you are giving prescription to Argentina.
I think Kabelega referred to Argentina in his response because Argentina was mentioned by the writer of previous post

I don't believe those stats. Iwobi and Kelechi are under 6 feet. In the NBA it is common for players to add 1-3 inches to their real height. I wonder if the same thing is happening here.
