West Bromwich Albion striker, Victor Anichebe, has hailed Manchester City starlet, Kelechi Iheanacho, after the teenager opened his account for the English Premier League side on Saturday.
The former Everton striker also had kind words for Super Eagles striker, Odion Ighalo, whose 59th minute strike against Swansea City secured three points for Watford also on Saturday.
Compared to Iheanacho who scored his first goal in the EPL aged 18 years, 11 months and nine days, Anichebe remains the youngest Nigerian player to score in the top flight, scoring after 84 minutes in Everton’s 2 – 2 draw with his current club at the age of 18 years and 14 days in May 2006.
“Big congrats to Kelechi on your first senior goal and Ighalo Jude on another goal. Future looking bright for Nigeria,” allnigeriasoccer.com quoted Anichebe as saying on social media.
