Kelechi Iheanacho, the Super Eagles forward, is rumored to have caught Aston Villa’s interest for a potential transfer.
It is anticipated that Iheanacho will depart Leicester City this summer upon the expiry of his contract.
Crystal Palace and Turkish Super Lig contenders Trabzonspor have also been mentioned in connection with the 27-year-old.
Aston Villa, as per reports from Football Insider, are keen on recruiting another striker in the upcoming transfer window, despite already having Olie Watkins and Jhon Duran on their squad.
A move to Aston Villa may appeal to Iheanacho, especially considering their chance to secure a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
The forward made the switch to Leicester City from Manchester City back in 2017 and has since netted 35 goals in 172 league appearances for the Foxes.
