Kelechi Iheanacho has declared his intention to add to his goal tally for Middlesbrough following his first strike for the Championship club. The Nigerian forward marked his debut goal in Boro colors during their 3-1 victory over Oxford United at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday.
The 28-year-old, who joined on loan from Sevilla in January, broke his duck with a second-half finish that put Middlesbrough ahead in the crucial Championship encounter. His contribution proved vital as Michael Carrick's side secured three important points in their promotion push.
Taking to social media after the match, Iheanacho shared his delight with a characteristically philosophical post on X (formerly Twitter): "Man no be God. 1st of many," signaling his belief that more goals will follow.
The former Leicester City striker has quickly become a fan favorite at Middlesbrough, with his technical quality and experience at Premier League level adding valuable depth to Carrick's attacking options. His maiden goal comes at a crucial stage of the season as Boro battle for playoff positions in the Championship.
With several games remaining in the campaign, Iheanacho will be looking to build on his promising start and play a key role in Middlesbrough's push for Premier League promotion. His confident social media message suggests the Nigerian international believes he's only just beginning to make his mark on Teesside.
