Agent Confirms Kelechi Iheanacho Has Agreed Terms With A Top Team

Reports had earlier suggested that Nigeria youth - teamer Kelechi Iheanacho was on his way to Manchester City.

The Golden Ball winner at the 2013 Fifa Under 17 World Cup had attracted interest from a plethora of clubs including Monaco, Arsenal, PAOK, Udinese,  Sporting Lisbon and Porto since the conclusion of the tournament staged in the United Arab Emirates.

Henry Galeano, who represents the Taye Academy attacking midfielder, has diplomatically refused to confirm the identity of the club his client has signed for.

Speaking to Tuttomercatoweb.com, Henry Galeano said : “His situation is known. Know what the papers say in Nigeria, but I only know the truth and Kelechi.

“We are just waiting for the club concerned to make the deal official before we say anything.

“Negotiation is ended and I expect Iheanacho to start playing in Europe soon.”

Kelechi Iheanacho recorded 6 goals in 7 matches at the Fifa Under 17 World Cup which the Golden Eaglets won for a record fourth time last November.
