Kelechi Iheanacho's Move To Manchester City Done!! by sureteeboy(m): 6:18pm On Jan 07, 2014
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.

Did you know; The French equivalent of ‘LOL’ is ‘MDR’ or“mort de rire” which actually means “dying with laughter.

Good news. Kelechi Iheanacho is now a Citizen. Well I hope we can put this behind us. I hope Pellegrini treats him as one of the senior player and let's him be nurtured fast into the main team.

Man City might be a good place for Kelechi. Our Barcelona duo are at it again.

City backroom duo Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain have used their contacts in Barcelona to take him to Spain for training before he comes to England to start work with Manuel Pellegrini's men.

During the Kelechi Iheanacho's Man City/Porto Saga, I said that we should hope Pellegrini is interested in Iheanacho. From reports coming in, Pellegrini is interested and wants Nwakali too.

It would be too interesting if Pellegrini is interested. Remember how he developed Isco at Malaga.

This boy matter don tire me...o.If you won go any club abeg go and stop disturbing people.Anyways i am happy for him.For those who will want to start coming here to say why did'nt he go to FC Porto should forget it.FC Porto is not a pushover club.Who will succeed will surely succeed.A star can never be hidden no matter where he finds itself.I remember how Utaka found himself in Qatar and the next season he was playing big in the French league with Lens

Kelechi is undisbutably the best midfielder in Africa and would easily walk into the 1st team of any top team in europe. Yaya Toure and David Silva will be sh!tting in their pants if this Kelechi transfer to Mancity finally pulls through.
