Nigerian wonderkid Kelechi Iheanacho will
sign a deal with Manchester City,
according to the player's father.
Iheanacho was named the best player at
November's Under-17s World Cup after
scoring six goals, including one in the
final, as his country triumphed in the
United Arab Emirates. MAN CITY LATEST
9/1Manchester City are 9/1 with
PaddyPower to beat Viktoria Plzen 4-0 He
has since been linked in his homeland with
moves to Porto and Chelsea but his father,
James, claims that the Etihad Stadium
will be his next destination. "As I am
talking to you, I have chosen in my mind
that Kelechi is going to Manchester
United," he told SuperSport's 'Monday
Night Football', before appearing to
correct himself by saying: "I have told
you that he is going to Manchester City."
Iheanacho senior later confirmed to
MTNFootball.com that the player's family
made a joint decision on where he would
go in a meeting on Monday night. "We
prayed [on Monday] and, after due
consultations with family members, we
came up with Manchester City, believing he
has a future there," he explained. "That
is where he will be uplifted." The young
striker had been declared missing by his
father on Friday after he had left his
home in Owerri without alerting his family
but returned early on Monday morning
before a decision on his future was made.
James has been integral in his son's
fledgling career, with rumours that he
had valued the starlet at €1 million
(£840,000), though he denied those
claims, declaring: "No, those people are
my enemies. I never said that."
