Kelechi Iheanacho Set To Sign A 200,000 Pounds A Week At Manchester City

Kelechi Iheanacho's agent has disclosed that the 19-year old will not sign a new contract with Manchester City unless it is in the range of 200,000 pounds-a-week over five years.

"He has deserved his keep at City as he is now one of the most effective forwards in the whole of Europe when you put his game time against the number of his goals," a top source argued.

The Nigerian international, who scored twice for City in last Saturday's 4-2 loss to Southampton has scored 13 goals in all competitions this season with seven of them in the Premier League.

The club reportedly offered the 2013 FIFA U17 most valuable player 50,000 pounds-a-week from the "below 20,000 pounds per week he currently earns after coming through the City youth ranks.

AfricanFootball.com was specially told by an insider that the least paid City first-teamer is on 180,000 pounds-a-week with the biggest earner at the club Yaya Toure pocketing almost twice that sum.

Iheanacho is expected to bag a new contract by July, but the question is, does his performance deserve 200,000 pounds a week the agent demanded???
