Manchester City striker, Kelechi Iheanacho, might not be starting every game at the English club side, yet he believes he has a future with the team.

Iheanacho says that he has no plans of quitting City anytime soon.

The Nigerian, who scored his fifth international goal in Nigeria’s friendly game against Senegal on Thursday, said: “I’m very happy and very grateful to be in this team.”

“I keep working hard every day and when I get my chance I have to prove to everyone I need to be in the squad.

“It’s a great squad with great players.

“Everyone is working really hard, so everyone should be happy being in this team.

“I am improving every day. I keep learning and improving and that will help me in the future.

“I love it here,” Iheanacho enthused.

The 20-year-old striker has made 24 appearances in all competitions this season, but over half of his appearances have been from the bench.

Iheanacho has scored 12 goals in 42 games for City since joining the team in 2015.
