Iheanacho was few weeks ago called up with two other victorious golden eaglets lads, Dele Alampasu and Tiwo Awoniyi, into the home base Super Eagles Camp preparing for CHAN 2014 Tournament that will hold in Morocco come January 2014. CHAN is another version of African Cup Of Nations (AFCON), designed by CAF to engage and expose home based African players.
Keshi was quoted by team's spokesperson Ben Alaiya as saying he has sanctioned the departure of the player after his father, James Iheanacho put a call to him on Monday afternoon requesting the release of the lad.
"Initially a young man came declaring that he was Iheanacho's agent, but I declined to deal with him until I hear from the family because the boy is still a minor, " he said.
"It was soon after my rejection that I got a call from his father who told me that they have gotten travel visa to the United Kingdom and that I should oblige him with his son's release. I did and told the young man to go and do the nation proud at whichever club that he finally choose to settle down."
Keshi however acknowledged that Iheanacho is a talented player but also cautioned that the player should be handled gently and professionally as he navigates his professional career.
