Kelechi Iheanacho recognizes the accomplishments of former Everton player Aiyegbeni

After joining Portsmouth in the English Premier League in 2003, Yakubu Aiyegbeni went on to play for Everton, Blackburn, and other teams.

According to Soccernet.ng, Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho has been spotted replying on social media to noteworthy accomplishments made by former Nigerian international Yakubu Aiyegbeni in his prime.

Aiyegbeni’s performances have earned him a deserving reputation, despite criticism from Nigerian football supporters regarding a costly miss he made during Nigeria’s 2010 World Cup match against South Korea. These statistics were posted by an Instagram football page.

Aiyegbeni was a key player for Portsmouth during his tenure, netting seven goals in 14 loan appearances while working under Harry Redknapp’s tutelage to help Portsmouth win their first division title in the 2002–03 campaign.

After deciding to make the move permanent, he helped Portsmouth escape relegation by scoring 16 goals in 38 games in the English Premier League in 2003–04 and solidifying his place as one of the league’s greatest attackers.

Aiyegbeni scored ninety-five goals in the English League, and he reached double figures in six Premier League seasons.

The Leicester City forward Iheanacho, who recently tied the score for Peseiro’s team against Zimbabwe, answered in the comments section with a brief “Facts” and an emoji that looks like he’s clapping.
