Kelechi Iheanacho’s father, James, has confirmed that his son is set to sign for English Premier League side, Manchester City.
Iheanacho has courted interested from big European clubs, after he emerged as the best player at the U-17 World Cup in UAE, where he scored six goals, as the Golden Eaglets lifted the trophy.
“As I am talking to you, I have chosen in my mind that Kelechi is going to Manchester United,” he said on SuperSport’s ‘Monday Night Football’, before correcting himself by saying: “I have told you that he is going to Manchester City.”
He also revealed that the player’s family made the decision together, on Monday night, after praying together.
“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.”
James last week raised an alarm that his son was missing, but it understood he returned on Monday morning, before the decision was made.
