Super Eagles forward, Kelechi Iheanacho, will leave Manchester City
this summer in search of regular football, his agent Olumide Olowu has
said.
The agent also hinted that the talented forward is been kept on bench due to his manager’s preference as against his ability.
Iheanacho has dropped down Pep Guardiola’s pecking order at the Etihad,
with Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus preferred as the lone frontman by
the Spaniard.
Olowu, who also represents Arsenal’s on-loan Nigerian teenage striker,
Kelechi Nwakali, revealed that the player is not happy and will be
seeking to join a new club when the season ends.
“Iheancho needs to leave Manchester City and he will find a better place
to continue his younger career,” Olumide told
Completesportsnigeria.com.
“Guardiola seems to have his own players that he wants to play and you
can’t expect a young player with huge potentials to be wasting away on
the bench.”
Olowu insisted Iheanacho is leaving because Guardiola did not give him a
chance to prove his worth and not because he can’t compete with Gabriel
Jesus or Aguero.
“Kelechi(Iheanacho) had already shown his quality before Manchester City signed Gabriel Jesus, he had already proven himself.
“I’m not speaking for Iheanacho, but as someone who is involved in
advising him, I don’t think he has been treated fairly by Guardiola and I
think his career will be better elsewhere.
“For whatever reason, he has not been given the opportunity to continue his progress at City,” he added.
