Kelechi Iheanacho says he is excited with the arrival of ex-Barcelona midfielder Pep Guardiola as coach of Manchester City.
As exclusively revealed, the Nigeria international jetted out to England on Wednesday night ahead of the start of pre-season training and witnessed the unveiling of the Spanish manager on Sunday.
“It is very important for this football Club, the players and for our fans,” Iheanacho told City’s official website, mancity.com.
“This is a great day for all of us and I can’t wait to get started in training on Monday.
“I think everyone knows what we are looking to do this season. We are looking forward to playing great football and winning trophies.”
According to reports, the Super Eagles striker has decided not to represent Nigeria at the Olympic Games as he is keen to impress Guardiola at pre-season training and looking to cement his place in the first team in the new season.
