Pellegrini said: Kelechi is just 17 years old and hes a very important player for us in the future. He demonstrated today what he can do in the future. It depends on the way he takes this profession, but I think hes a good talent.

We've not decided yet (what the plan is for him) because its not easy. Hes just 17 and sometimes thats the problem. Well see what he will do in the future.

For the moment he will stay with us and well see when we return to England what will happen with him. But hes a very important player for the future for the club.

After the tour we will see what happens with him. There are a lot of things to arrange to play in England but he has an important future.
