Manchester City have wrapped up a deal for
highly-rated Nigerian teenager Kelechi Iheanacho
and are applying for a work permit. City’s
incredible Nigerian wonderkid deal done The 17-
year-old forward was the standout performer at the
Fifa Under-17 World Cup in November, landing
the Golden Ball with six goals as his Nigeria side
stormed to the title.
His performances led to an unseemly scramble
between clubs, agents and even family members with
claims that he had been kidnapped emerging at one
stage, but it appears to have finally been resolved
with City winning the race for his signature. A
£250,000 transfer fee had been agreed, with a
further £300,000 for the Taye Academy in
Owerri, Nigeria where he was educated and
£350,000 to Iheanacho’s father, James.
The player is currently in Barcelona awaiting his UK
work permit hearing after an incredible operation
involving Spanish agents and contacts in Africa to
get him out of the country where he was born.
