The former Man City star who was privileged to play alongside Yaya Toure at the Etihad also claimed that he wants to have the passing ability of the former African Player of the Year.

The dribbling skills of former Bolton Wanderers star and Super Eagles legend Austin Okocha is another quality the 24-year-old is wishing to have.

The Nigerian international is not as pacy as his strike partner Jamie Vardy but he believes having the speed of former Arsenal star Gervinho will add a whole lot to his game.

And Iheanacho's last pick of the bunch was the strength of his international teammate Isaac Success.

Both stars won the FIFA U17 tournament with Nigeria in Abu Dhabi back in 2013 as they complemented each other in the attacking.

Success has been struggling with injury problems in most parts of his career but has settled with Championship side Watford who recently gained promotion into the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Kelechi Iheanacho has revealed what he told Chelsea star Antonio Rudiger when he clashed with his teammate Ricardo Pereira.

Leicester City lost 2-1 to the Blues at Stamford Bridge making them lose hold of their Champions League spot on the league table.

If Liverpool beat Burnley then the Foxes will be hoping for a miracle when they take on Tottenham and the Reds play Crystal Palace on matchday 38.

Iheanacho who came in as a second half substitute while his team were 2-0 down, got one back to take the game to a nervy ending.
