Wonderkid Iheanacho to sign for Man City
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 the Golden Eaglets triumphed in the United
Arab Emirates.
He has since been linked with moves to Porto and Chelsea
but his father, James, said that the Etihad Stadium will be his
boys' next destination.
"As I am talking to you, I have chosen that Kelechi is going
to Manchester United," he told Super Sport'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 said 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."
