Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi has allowed
youngster Kelechi Iheanacho to quit a training
camp in Abuja so as to finalise a move to
English Premier League giants Manchester City.
Iheanacho, 17, was the stand out performer at
the recent Fifa Under-17 World Cup in the
United Arab Emirates scoring six goals and being
named player of the tournament.
Keshi has approved the departure of the
youngster from the training camp in Abuja.
"I have told the young man to go and do the
nation proud at whichever club he finally
chooses to settle down with," said Keshi, who
described the forward as a real talent.
This week, Iheanacho impressed in the Eagles
training camp ahead of next year's
