West Ham has pulled out of the race for Manchester City starlet Kelechi Iheancho on the orders of Slaven Bilic.
Just as the club believed they had landed their coup – having agreed to a buy back clause – Bilic decided that the player was unproven and too much of a risk.
There can be little doubt that should Iheanacho turn out to be a big success – now probably at Leicester City – Bilic could be in a lot of trouble particularly after his insistence that Simone Zaza was the man he needed at the London Stadium last season!
