Nigerian Forward, Kelechi Iheanacho has revealed how he ended up at Manchester City instead of Porto after the 2013 U-17 World Youth Championship in the UAE.
Speaking to the Tribune, he said his father nudged him on to go to England.
“After the tournament, a few European clubs were interested in signing me: Arsenal, Porto and some others. And also, of course, Manchester City. I did not know much about these clubs.
“I thought I would choose Porto, because I knew many African players had success with the club in the past.
“I didn’t really believe that I could play at City because they had so many incredible players.
“But my father told me that I should choose City because he believed that I could achieve great things there. So I listened to my father.”
