Dad declares Iheanacho missing

The father of Kelechi Iheanacho has raised the alarm over the whereabouts of his soccer star son, saying he has been taken away by agents without his consent.
Iheanacho, was the top star of the recent FIFA U17 World Cup and is wanted by a number of Europe’s top clubs.

However, controversies have continued to trail his next destination.


“I don’t know the whereabouts of my son. I have not been able to reach him for the past three days,” James Iheanacho said 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 Nigeria U20 midfielder Chidi Osuchukwu to another Portuguese club, Sporting Braga.
Portuguese champions FC Porto are believed to be in pole position to sign the player from Taye Academy in Owerri.
But Porto president is said to be unhappy about the transaction as it appeared to have been facilitated by some of his top men behind his back.
