father of Kelechi Iheanacho has raised
alarm over the whereabouts of his son,
saying he has been taken away by
agents without his consent. Iheanacho,
17, was the top star of the recent FIFA
U-17 World Cup in United Arab
Emirates and is wanted by several top
clubs in Europe. However,
controversies have continued to trail
his next destination. This week, Golden
Eaglets assistant coach, Emmanuel
Amuneke, was reported to have
manhandled a FIFA agent in Owerri
over the youngster's transfer, M
TNFootball.com reports. "I don't know
the whereabouts of my son. I have not
been able to reach him for the past
three days," M TNFootball.com quoted
James Iheanacho as saying on Hot FM
Owerri on Friday. Unconfirmed reports
said two Golden Eaglets officials and a
Portugal-based agent simply known as
Graham may have taken the younger
Iheanacho to Abuja to perfect his
transfer to Europe. Graham was behind
the summer transfer of Flying Eagles
midfielder Chidi Osuchukwu to another
Portuguese club, Sporting Braga.
Portuguese champions FC Porto is
believed to be in pole position to sign
the player from Taye Academy in
Owerri.
