Kelechi Iheanacho Set To Follow In The Footsteps Of Etuhu And Wabara, Could Debut Against Southampton

Kelechi Iheanacho could made his official debut for Manchester City in their final game of the season against Southampton, according to reports in England.

As first published by Manchester Evening News, whom you can always rely on for news about The Citizens, the Nigeria youth international has been scouted several times in recent games for the EDS by manager Pellegrini .

And the 18 - year - old must have impressed the first team coach, with four goals scored including the winner against Porto in the final of Premier League International Cup.

It has been claimed by his minders that he was due to link up with the Nigeria Under 20s at their training camp in Nuremberg but he will now travel from England to New Zealand due to a visa - hitch.

Kelechi Iheanacho will follow in the footsteps of Nedum Onuoha, Reece Wabara, Dickson Etuhu and Emmanuel Adebayor if he is handed his debut against The Saints.
