Iheanacho is never a winger and definitely no longer an attacking midfielder based on my observations of him for Leicester and the Super Eagles in recent seasons.
Either you play him as a centre forward or a support striker, simple. Others might have their opinion of Iheanacho's optimal position on the pitch based on their own observations, but this is mine.
His pace has waned and his movements limited to a defined area of the pitch which to me limits his versatility.
A big game player? Maybe, if positioned in an area that maximises his strengths and limits his glaring weaknesses.
I remain a fan of Iheanacho and pray he moves to Spain as his technical brand will benefit from a league with moderate pace.
I am hoping he will be fit and flying for this year’s Afcon qualifiers and next February's World Cup qualifiers. His vision, neat touches, intelligence and goal threats are undeniable. And when he is in the mood, blood will flow.
Good luck to Iheanacho in his next career venture.
