Throughout his youth career, he showcased his prowess as a physical and agile striker, consistently finding the back of the net.

Expressing his delight at joining FC Midtjylland, Iheanacho stated, “I’m truly elated, and this is something I have eagerly anticipated for a long time.

The journey to reach this point has been challenging, so standing here now holds significant meaning for me.”

Iheanacho emerged from FC Hearts, an Abuja-based academy renowned for producing notable talents such as former Nigeria U17 captain Musa Muhammed and Ifeanyi Mathew, among others.

He will now join forces with Isa Musa, Jamiu Musbaudeen, and Obule Moses in FC Midtjylland’s U19 team.
