Exclusive: Man City Apply Work Permit For Iheanacho by mistabiola: 4:37pm On Dec 10, 2014
AfricanFootball.com can
specially reveal today that EPL
champions Manchester City
have applied for a work permit
for Nigeria youngster Kelechi
Iheanacho.

Iheanacho has yet to be capped
at full international level by
Nigeria but he has been capped
by his country at U17 and U20
levels and City are most likely to
use the special talent argument
to get the Home office to grant
Iheanacho the right to ply his
trade in the UK.

It was the same argument that
helped Chelsea to give Mikel Obi
a contract in 2006 even when by
then he was not an established
Nigeria international.

“City have applied for a work
permit for Kelechi this week,”
one of the player’s
representatives informed

“We believe he will be granted
the chance to play in England.”
Iheanacho was the MVP of last
year’s FIFA U17 World Cup,
which Nigeria won in fine style
with the forward finishing also
as the second leading scorer of
the tournament.

Last week, he was called up by
Nigeria U23 team with coach
Samson Siasia admitting he is a
big fan.
He equally shone during City’s
pre-season training tour of the
United States of America,
scoring a couple of goals with
class and composure.

Iheanacho turned 18 recently
and has been training with
Major League Soccer (MLS) side
Colombus Crew.
Earlier this year, City said they
may loan out the starlet when
he is 18 and can sign a pro deal,
but recent reports suggest they
may keep him at the Ethihad
Stadium.

He will seat on the bench for Aguero and replace Aguero whenever Aguero injures.
