The moment he effortlessly stroked in that goal against Kansas City in pre season two years back, having barely had time to be introduced to the squad yet, I felt we had someone a bit special on our hands. Watching him a few times in the Eds last spring convinced me further, he just seemed to have 'it', an almost arrogant kind of certainty about his touch and demeanour.
Admittedly I'm relatively kfa in judging players (I thought Nastasic was the real deal), so its good to see Kelechi really stepping up and grabbing his chance this season.
Its certainly too early to be getting overly giddy and heaping too much pressure on the kid by proclaiming him the new Eto'o, Messi, Pele even Sturridge etc, though at least we know we have an excellent back up Striker/no 10 to complement the squad. Pellers has certainly kept him hungry and grounded and made him earn his chances ! Its encouraging to see him talking about hard work all the time on the OS, he clearly has the right attitude and drive to succeed and in contrast to his on-pitch swagger, he seems like a quiet and modest lad by nature off of it. There's still a long way to go but he has everything in place to make it right to the top.
