Man City striker Iheanacho close to £25m Leicester move

1 Min Read

Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho is close to making a £25m move to Leicester City as the arrival of Gabriel Jesus has pushed him down the pecking order of selection with more limited playing time than preferred.

The 20-year-old Nigerian who is well known for his athleticism, international experience and clinical goal scoring, is in advanced talks with the Foxes and is thought to be keen to make the switch.

Iheanacho has scored 21 goals in 64 games in all competitions since making his debut for Manchester City in 2015.

Last August, he signed a new contract until 2021, but saw his playing time limited by the January arrival of Brazil forward Gabriel Jesus.
