Man City Confirms Iheanacho's First Team Promotion

 
Manchester City have confirmed that Kelec​h​i
Iheanacho has been promoted to the first team for
the 2015/2016 season.

The Nigerian forward featured in five pre-season
games, scoring twice and was heavily tipped to be
included in the senior squad following his
sparkling form.

It was then confirmed on Wednesday night when
he was presented alongside two other academy
graduates Jason Denayer and Marcos Lopes to the
club’s fans during City’s annual award ceremony
that usually precedes the season opener​.
“@Jasondenayer, @Rony10Lopes & @67Kelechi
are the three academy graduates promoted to the
first team,” the club’s official Twitter handle
confirmed.

Iheanacho is expected to play a part in Monday
night’s away clash against West Brom at the
Hawthorns.

Also at the awards night, Toni Duggan emerged
winner of the Nissan Goal of the Season Award for
her stunning strike against Chelsea.

While Sergio Aguero won the Etihad Airways Player
of the Season award.
