According to the Mr. Iheanachor ( the player’s father) Kelechi Iheanacho will sign a deal
with Manchester City.
The named 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 has since been linked with moves to Porto
and Chelsea but his father, James, said that the 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.”
“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.”
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.”
