11 Super Eagles midfielder Kelechi Iheanacho has reaffirmed that he enjoys his game best as a proper number 10.
Recall that Iheanacho was used as a striker alongside Victor Osimhen against Benin in last week’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in a game that ended in a 1-1 draw.
However, in a chat with Victor Modo, the former Manchester City star stated that he would be delighted if deployed as a proper no. 10 ahead of the Super Eagles clash against Rwanda in today’s AFCON qualifier.

“Managers might think differently; wherever they put me I play. I’m serving the country, I’m playing. Anywhere I find myself I just go there and do my job.
“For me personally, in the national team I would like to be a number 10, obviously a proper number 10, so it depends on the formation any manager is playing, you have to adapt to it as a football player.
“I’m a proper number 10 in the national team, that’s my best position in the national team. In the club, it’s different, I’m a number 9 but sometimes I play number 10.”
