Nigerian
international Kelechi Iheanacho has
been rated as the deadliest finisher in all of Europe's top five leagues in
terms of minute-to-goal ratio, according to a report.
The
19-year-old is quietly blossoming into a clinical finisher at City, and this
was highlighted by his two goals in their 4-0 Premier League win over Stoke on
Saturday.
That double
took his overall tally to 11 in the season and a stat that sees him crowned as
Europe's deadliest marksman.
His
minute-to-goal ratio stands at 81.27 - a figure that surpasses illustrious
forwards such Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Based on
players having scored 10 goals or more this term in all competitions,
Iheanacho's nearest challenger is Barcelona forward Luis Suarez. The
29-year-old has scored 53 times at a minute-to-goal ratio of 83.77.
Real Madrid
duo Ronaldo (47 goals) and Karim Benzema (27) sit third and fourth respectively
in this list at 84.21 and 85.93 respectively.
