Nigerian wonderkid and hero of last year’s U-17 World Cup, Kelechi
Iheanacho, is a work permit away from signing for Manchester City. The
17-year-old is set to join the Blues after starring in the Under-17
World Cup last summer, but it has proved to be a complex deal.
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.
