Iheanacho my best striking partner—Success

Isaac Success has explained that his compatriot Kelechi Iheanacho is the best he has played alongside in his young career.

The pair enjoyed a fine partnership in Nigeria’s youth teams, one which is likely to be revived for the Super Eagles.

Watford striker Success also claims that Iheanacho is best deployed as a shadow striker rather than an outright number nine.

“I have played in Spain, I am playing here in England, but I haven’t had the chance to play with a lot of teams here,” Success said.

”In general the best player I have played with is Kelechi, the partnership was just superb, it was just so good.

“You can enjoy Kelechi more as a support striker because he is a creative player and a player than can make a difference anytime with assists or clear chances he can always covert that, you can’t take that from him.”
