The player successfully underwent a medical examination at the new club and signed a five-year contract. "I feel happy being part of this team," said K. Iheanacho. - I know the ambitions of this club. I talked to the coach and he told me about the goals set. I hope I can help the team achieve them". K. Iheanacho joined the "Man City" club academy in 2014, and in 2015 he made his debut in the main team. The first season was excellent for the African - he scored 14 goals in 35 matches. It was expected that the striker would get a lot of playing time last season, but Pep Guardiola did not show confidence in the young player and he only played 29 matches.
