Kelechi Iheanacho 'nears Leicester City switch'

Iheanacho 'nears Leicester switch'

Manchester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho is allegedly on the verge of joining Leicester City.

The Nigeria international has entered "advanced talks" with the Foxes over a £25m switch, according to BBC Sport.

Iheanacho, who has found first-team football hard to come by at City since the January arrival of Gabriel Jesus, is said to be keen on the move.

The 20-year-old has scored 21 goals in 64 games for Pep Guardiola's side since breaking into the senior squad in 2015, and has found the net six times in 10 appearances for his country.

Iheanacho signed a new deal which would have kept him at City until 2021 only last year.
