Nigerian wonderkid Kelechi Iheanacho has signed a pre-contract with Manchester City and will join the club in October, his father has confirmed.
City have resurrected the move for Iheanacho and agreed terms after a dispute between his parents and the club arose over bonus payments threatened to collapse a deal last month.
. “The situation is that Kelechi hasn’t turned 18 yet and until he does, he can’t sign but what he has done is sign a pre-contract with Manchester City pending his 18th birthday,” Iheanacho’s father James told brilafm.net at the Confederation of African Football's gala award ceremony in Lagos.
Goal revealed last week that a £250,000 transfer fee has been agreed for Iheanacho, with a further £300,000 being paid to the Taye Academy in Owerri and £350,000 to the youngster’s father.
Iheanacho's 17-year-old compatriot, Chidi Nwakali is also expected to sign imminently after arriving at the club for talks last week.
