Iheanacho signs City pre-contract

Nigeria Under-17 striker Kelechi Iheanacho has signed a pre-contract with Manchester City according to his father James.
In an interview with Brila FM the player’s father confirms that he has signed a pre-contract with City but with him being 17 years-old a proper contract will be signed when his son turns 18, and only then will they get money from his
deal.
October 3 is the day when Kelechi turns 18 years-old.

“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,” James Iheanacho told Brila FM.

He also added that Kelechi is jetting off from Nigeria to Switzerland for today’s Fifa World Player of the Year award ceremony together with Dele Alampasu, whom Fifa also invited.
