Kelechi Iheanacho, the Manchester City Striker is currently earning £85,000 (N42 million) per week making him the highest paid Nigerian footballer.

According to widespread rumours, the Imo born footballer is building an exotic mansion in a yet to be unravelled location in Nigeria.

 

A picture of the mansion which is nearing completion has been leaked on social media.

Iheanacho will be in contention to start for Manchester City when they play against Mourinho’s Manchester United on Saturday tea time as first choice striker Sergio Aguero is suspended after being found guilty of violent conduct.

When asked about the loss of Aguero for the game, Kelechi said, ‘Sergio’s suspension is a big loss but we have a lot of big players to turn to.

‘If I get picked I’m going to do my job. Games like this mean a lot and it doesn’t come bigger than a derby.’

He added: ‘He’s a winner and I believe he will bring success to the club. His arrival has changed the mentality of everyone because you are starting from scratch.

‘He’s the special one sent to Man City and, obviously, the special one for me.’
