Iheanacho on West Ham, Everton radar
SUPER Eagles Striker, Kelechi Ihe- anacho has become the
beautiful bride in Europe, as West Ham and Everton have joined the race to en-
gage his services.
This new interest from the Eng- lish Premier League Clubs
was com- ing barely few days after German Bundesliga Club, Borussia Dortmund
had already expressed interest in the young forward who was tipped for the top
by former City boss, Manuel Pellegrini and had scored 21 goals for City despite
making only 20 starts.
Hoffenheim and Bayer Leverkusen had all been credited with
an interest in the former Golden Eaglets and Fly- ing Eagles star.
Iheanacho’s opportunities at City had been limited under Pep
Guar- diola by the £27million signing of young Brazillian international centre
forward, Gabriel Jesus and although he had made 19 appearances for City this
season, he started only five matches.
Nigeria international Iheanacho is under contract until 2021
but City was prepared to listen to offers of around £20m, to help finance its
spending plans for the summer.
An Etihad source reportedly said: “He is highly-rated here,
but has not started a match since January 2nd where as I’m sure he would get
lots of first-team
action else-
where. Pep is looking to bolster his ranks and spend a fair
chunk of cash this coming transfer window and the club could be persuaded to
sell should the right offer come in.”
