In the wake of arguments as to who is better between Nigerian teen forward Kelechi Iheanacho and England teen forward Marcus Rasford, the English Premier League official website has confirmed that the Nigerian has equalled records set by legends of the English Premier League.
Iheanacho scored in City’s 4-0 romped over Bournemouth last weekend in the English Premier League, to take his goal tally to 10 since making his debut in the league last season.
The Nigerian teen was 19 years, 11 months and 14 days old when he scored City’s second goal against Bournemouth last weekend.
According to the official website of the league, he is now in the league of young teen forwards to have reached double digits goals before turning 20.
Other players to have achieved similar fate include Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney, Robbie Fowler, Nicolas Anelka, Romelu Lukaku, Ryan Giggs, Jermaine Defoe, Raheem Sterling, Emile Heskey and Robbie Keane among others.
