Super Eagles striker, Kelechi Iheanacho could be jailed for allegedly misleading a court in Pennsylvania, USA.
According to reports, the Manchester City striker is facing problems in the US after allegations were made against him that he may have misled a court in Pennsylvania.
Iheanacho filed pleadings that denied he knew or spent time with Henry Galeano,who separately claims he is his former agent.
The Nigerian international claimed he believed Galeano was an alias used by First Eleven Management co-owner Robert Zanicky.
New Yorker Galeano was the company’s registered Fifa-licensed agent.
SunSport and the American court have been handed a series of photos and documents that will require an explanation from the Nigerian international.

The crucial legal question for Iheanacho will be whether he did more than merely meet Galeano or happened to be with him on occasions. It certainly seems clear they at least met.
Galeano is pictured by his side as he signed a new Manchester City contract shortly after his 18th birthday in October 2014.
Under Pennsylvania Law, if it is found Iheanacho knowingly tried to mislead the court, he could be charged with unsworn falsification — which, if found guilty, carries a penalty of up to two years in prison.
