The 19-year-old recently made history as the first Nigerian to score in the Manchester derby and also impressed as he replaced suspended Sergio Aguero in the team.

Despite all the praises his form has attracted, the Super Eagles striker does not want to get carried away.
“I’m not letting all the praise get to my head because I still have a lot to learn in this game,” Iheanacho told BBC Sport.
“It’s
been a very progressive period for me at the club, but playing
alongside stars like Sergio [Aguero], Yaya [Toure] and other great
players provides a big chance to keep working hard.
“I’m
definitely learning, quietly listening and watching others closely
every day – I know in doing that I will achieve bigger things in my
career.

“We have
experienced players in the team and as someone who is learning and
improving, I am happy to take my chance when the manager calls.”
Iheanacho is expected to play for Nigeria in their FIFA 2018 World Cup qualifiers on Sunday, October 9.
