Kelechi Iheanacho, Leicester City's fabled Nigerian Striker is an exemplary testament to prodigious talent combined with years of experience. At the heart of Iheanacho’s game is his incredible knack for ball retention. Ranked in the top 4% among his peers, his skill is a testament to his unwavering control on the pitch. Coupled with this, he ranks extremely high in Chance Creation (top 2%), showing the lethal combination of his creative ability and extreme ball control.
However, what truly sets Iheanacho apart is his effectiveness in front of goal. With an admirable Goal Threat percentile of 82.53%, he becomes a consistent nightmare for the defenders. His pass accuracy per 90 sits at another triumphant 95.08%, with equally impressive performances in xG and xA per 90.
Despite these shining attributes, Iheanacho’s Ball Recovery, Goal Efficiency, and Progressive Passing, remain clear areas for improvement. Sitting in the modest lower quartile, these indices point to the occasional lapses in his otherwise high-performing game. Looking ahead, this burgeoning footballer has demonstrated the resolve to certainly fine-tune these skills, pushing him into the realm of the truly extraordinary.
