At last, after much controversies and disappointments, English Premiership giant, Manchester City, has wrapped up a deal for the highly-rated Golden Eaglets teenager, Kelechi Iheanachor.

The 17-year old was voted the Most Valuable Player at the recently concluded FIFA U-17 World Cup, after leading the Nigerian side to the fourth world cup title at the category.

It was gathered that the City side is currently applying for Iheanacho’s work permit with a transfer fee of 250,000 pounds already agreed, coupled with 300,000 pounds for the Taye Academy in Owerri, Nigeria where he was educated and 350, 000 pound to Iheanacho’s father, James.

Further report revealed that the player is currently in Barcelona awaiting his UK work permit hearing after an incredible operation involving Spanish agents and contacts in Africa.
