Kelechi Iheanacho about to sign?
|
|
Kelechi Iheanacho will undergo a medical tomorrow with English Premier League side West Ham after Manchester City accepted a bid of £24m for his transfer to the hammers.
The price West Ham are paying for his services makes him the most expensive Nigerian player as his fee eclipsed the 20 million pounds Chanchung Yatai paid for Odion Ighalo for his transfer from Watford.
Iheanacho will team up with West Ham on a permanent deal, with Manchester City having the option of buying him back after two years according to reports gathered by Owngoalnigeria.com editorial team.
The 20 year old lost his spot at Manchester City following the arrival of Gabriel Jesus, who pushed him further down the pecking order leading to the forward missing out on some of the matchday squad of manager Pep Guardiola.
His move will be officially announced tomorrow after a medical which will take place in France, where he is on duty with the Super Eagles of Nigeria for the games against Corsica and Togo.

You just know he will get injured next week. And be out until Easter. Still great signing if true.

I would be very happy about this. Not sure about the option to buy back - sounds a bit iffy a laTevez. I'm sure our lawyers have it sorted though.

With the "buy back" option I wondered if it was a load of bollocks.
But Jordan Ibe and Mephis Dephay are on buy back options. Stop any transfer balls up like Lukaku and Pogba.
We'll see.

A striker and a right back just days after the end of the season...
You know what they say when it sounds to good to be true!
I'd be amazed and delighted if this was true however.

An exciting signing and breaks our transfer record again. Genuinely impressed so far, no talking and straight down to business early doors.

Have a couple of mates who know people on the training side of things at city. This lad has been closely watched and had bundles of speed, strength and talent - another Antonio type player.
Give him some time please, he could be an absolutely brilliant signing or he could be the next Marlon Harewood - my money is on te former.

How does this buy back thing work then?
Are we paying 24 million for only two years worth?

Teriffic, another African fucker whose name I can't pronounce and who I've never heard of - and who if he's any good we could lose after a couple of years.
Can we have a couple of Brits in this window please?

This story was doing the rounds last night and it came from a fake sky sports news account, same details and price. Unfortunately this bloke seems to have picked the story up from there.
Hope he does sign though

C&H reporting no deal done and that the club cannot even get a price from City for him.
