My City place not under threat — Iheanacho

NIGERIA forward, Kelechi Iheanacho, says he is not afraid of his place at Manchester City, even with the coming in January of Brazilian forward, Gabriel Jesus.
Manager Pep Guardiola, is thinking of easing scoring pressure on Sergi Aguero who has netted eight times in the League and has cast his net wide for Jesus, the Brazilian teenager, who currently plays for Palmeiras.
“It is good for the club if we can have a young player like him,” Iheanacho told his club’s website.
“I don’t think my situation is in any jeopardy, I have the trust of the coach and my teammates. I am happy everyday I spend with this club and that is because I am learning and improving. If anything, I am looking forward to January to have somebody like Gabriel Jesus in this team.”
Jesus, 19, will cost City £25 million in the winter transfer window to underscore importance the club attaches to the player who has scored four goals in seven international appearances for Brazil .
Iheanacho, since making a substitute appearance against Southampton last month where he scored a face-saving equaliser for the Citizens, has yet to find the net.
“It’s all about opportunities. A striker should not just be thinking of scoring but also of helping his team to win. The team is scoring and winning. The last time I scored the team was on a five-match winless run, so it is more about this team than individuals’
The Nigerian was also happy for Yaya Toure who scored the two goals for City in a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
“Yaya is not just one of us, he is a leader. When he was not playing, he stayed committed to the team and offered suggestions, so we were so happy to see him score those crucial goals’’
