Premier League club Aston Villa has received clearance to pursue the signing of Nigerian international Kelechi Iheanacho, after renowned injury expert Dr. Rajpal Brar alleviated the team’s concerns regarding the striker’s fitness.
Dr. Rajpal Brar, a renowned expert in physical therapy and sports science, has reassured Aston Villa that Kelechi Iheanacho’s injury record should not be a cause for concern, despite his recent limited playing time.
“He’s not had any injuries that would be red flags for any club looking to sign him, but he has not played too many minutes,” Dr Brar explained.
“The lack of game time can certainly be a worry so the key is he needs to be brought in gradually.”
The 27-year-old forward, who currently plies his trade in the Championship, is reportedly in talks with Villa’s sporting director Monchi over a potential summer move.
Brar emphasized that Iheanacho’s previous Premier League experience would be beneficial for a smooth transition saying, “He is moving to the Premier League from the Championship but he’s played there before so will understand the demands of the Premier League.”
Iheanacho has a standout Premier League career, accumulating 196 appearances in the top tier, with a impressive tally of 42 goals scored and 25 assists provided.
