Iheanacho topples Mikel as Eagles highest earner
 |
| Mikel/Iheanacho |
Chelsea star Mikel Obi.
This month, Iheanacho signed a new two-year contract extension at City till 2021, saying his new contract will “change the lives of his family”.
Mikel, who moved to England 10 years ago, has been the biggest earner from Nigeria for many years and he is now on 70,000 pounds a week at Stamford Bridge.
It was further gathered that Iheanacho’s new handlers negotiated this bumper deal even though they are still locked in an ownership tussle with the player’s previous representatives, who are based in the United States of America. Iheanacho’s former agents had proposed a new contract of 50,000 pounds-a-week for the 19-year-old forward. He earned less than 18,000 pounds-a-week when he first joined Manchester City.
