FORMER Golden Eaglets star Kelechi Iheanacho has revealed that he is getting valuable lessons from key Manchester City players like Sergio Aguero and Wilfred Bony, hence his excellent runs at the club.

“They talk to me ever day in training, giving me advice and encouraging me to keep going and doing well,” he said.

“They tell me I will be a great player one day, so I will keep listening and working hard.

“The manager also gives me great advice, telling me to play simple and score goals.

“It’s always a pleasure to score a goal, and it was a good goal, a good reaction to run to the front post.

Manchester City cruised to the semi – finals of the League Cup on Tuesday night, thrashing Hull City 4 – 1, Iheanacho among the scorers for the Citizens.

The 2014 League Cup winners were only a goal ahead before the former Golden Eaglets sensation joined the fray in the 71st minute as replacement for Wilfried Bony.

Hull City’s Harry Maguire was booked in the 76th minute after his pocket was picked by the Nigerian and was on his way to launch an attack before he was fouled.

On 80 minutes, Iheanacho extended City’s lead, converting Raheem Sterling’s inviting ball from close range.
