MANCHESTER CITY striker Kelechi Iheanacho
is facing problems in the US after allegations
were made against him that he may have
misled a court in Pennsylvania.
Iheanacho, 20, is embroiled in legal battles
with his previous representatives, American-
based First Eleven Management, after pulling
out of a contract with them two years ago
to sign with Stellar, who look after Real
Madrid’s Gareth Bale.
Iheanacho filed pleadings that denied he
knew or spent time with Henry Galeano,
who separately claims he is his former
agent.
The Nigerian — who is hoping to move to
Leicester this week — claimed he believed
Galeano was an alias used by First Eleven
Management co-owner Robert Zanicky.
New Yorker Galeano was the company’s
registered Fifa-licensed agent.
SunSport and the American court have been
handed a series of photos and documents
that will require an explanation from the
Nigerian international.
The crucial legal question for Iheanacho will
be whether he did more than merely meet
Galeano or happened to be with him on
occasions. It certainly seems clear they at
least met.
Galeano is pictured by his side as he signed
a new Manchester City contract shortly after
his 18th birthday in October 2014.
SunSport have obtained photographs of
Iheanacho with Galeano:
