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

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."
