Iheanacho is a natural born finisher, says Redknapp

.Tips Nigerian ahead Bony vs Madrid

 Accolades have continued to pour in for Super Eagles striker, Kelechi Iheanacho following his man-of-the-match performance in Manchester City’s 4-0 victory over Stoke City last weekend, with Former Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie Redknapp describing him ‘a natural born finisher’.

The 19-year-old netted the third and fourth goals in the second half to take his tally to 11 goals in 30 senior outings as City eased to victory at the Etihad, Sportsbiz247 reports.

After winning the penalty in the first half, the impressive Iheanacho got in on the act himself after the interval, making sure of the victory with two expertly-taken goals on 64 and 74 minutes to seal a comfortable victory ahead of Tuesday's Champions League date with Real Madrid.

His display caught the eye of Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp, who said the Nigerian should be fielded ahead of Wilfried Bony against the Spanish giants in the Champions League semi-final.


"He's a natural born finisher. If you are looking at midweek and the Champions League and who you would bring on if things aren't going your way, he'd probably go in ahead of Wilfried Bony," the former England international said.
