Iheanacho: Clichy was the player that helped him most when I was at Man City

Published on: 08 April 2020

Kelechi Iheanacho singled out one particular Manchester City player for praise as he reflected on his start at the club.

Speaking on an Instagram Live video about his development at the Etihad, the 23-year-old said: "This one is so dear to my heart: Gael Clichy. He's like my teacher on the pitch, in the training, outside the pitch, anywhere.

"I will mention his name anywhere I go, he's so dear to my heart".

Iheanacho remains at Leicester where he has been reinvigorated by Brendan Rodgers but has not been able to dislodge Jamie Vardy from the starting lineup; Clichy is coming towards the end of his third season at Turkish side Istanbul Basaksehir.
