The one thing that has impressed head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle ahead of Tuesday’s friendly game against Russia has been the shape of Kelechi Iheanacho, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Iheanacho is enjoying a new lease of life and form at second division Turkish side Bursaspor where he has 11 goals and two assists in 8 games played so far this season.
A free signing from Scottish side Celtic, his form caught the attention of Chelle who decided to give him a chance with the senior team again by inviting him for the friendly game against Russia.
In their two training session, he has looked very sharp especially with his shooting and also finishing during goal scoring drills. A form that could see him start tomorrow.
Chelle has been very impressed with his commitment in training and also the way he motivates the young boys in the team. Everything per what we gathered is gearing towards starting him tomorrow.
