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.
