Kelechi Iheanacho

[KenTheLandlord]

Top half dozen teenage strikers in Europe are

Maxwel Cornet
Ousmane Dembele
Kelechi Iheanacho
Mikel Oyarzabal
Adalberto Peñaranda
Marcus Rashford

You can then argue the toss as each have something special but there is no doubt Kelechi is right up there at the moment.

Not wanting to question your list, but, what is the criteria for the top teenage ratings?

Combination of the leagues they play in, how many minutes they are getting (starts and or subs, starts tend to suggest the coach has more faith in them), goals they score, assists and one or two other bits and bobs, including obviously being a teenager. Yes you would be surprised that people come up with 21 and 22 years olds.
There was one i missed as i was putting them in alphabetical order and he would be in place of Maxwel Cornet, that is Kingsley Coman.

Well, thanks for that, good to know we have such a talent in our team!

He is mate, he really is.
Out of that lot the only one i would say is better is Ousmane Dembele.
Coman is with him as is Rashford.
Mikel Oyarzabal, Adalberto Peñaranda and Maxwell Cornet just a bit behind.
Can all change though in 6 months as they are kids and the likes of Alen Halilović, Adam Ounas and Nadiem Amiri can come flying right up.

On the subject of rashford...
He is likely gonna be world class. So will ian. Both great players, different though. Rashford more of a lone striker, can also play in the channels to receive the ball, where kelechi needs to drop deeper. Kelechi edges it for me, but i wish rashford wasnt at the rags, put it that way.

Rashford & Iheanacho would be a genuinely lethal partnership. Shame we let him go

When did he let him go? He's at the rags since he's 7.

I read somewhere he trained with both clubs as lots of kids do, but when the time came to make a choice who to sign for he chose ManUre so was never really with us.

Rashford looks a genuine talent, but its still early days yet as with Kelechi.
