According to reports from the Sun newspaper, Leicester City are
prepared to sell Nigeria international Kelechi Iheanacho just six
months after he was signed from Manchester City for a fee of £25m.
He has seen limited playing time since he moved to the former Premier
League champions. His situation has been made more complicated with
new manager Claude Puel considering him as being fourth choice behind
Jamie Vardy, Okazaki and Isam Slimani.
The report claims that any deal could be difficult because of his
wages of £115,000 a week, as any potential buying club would be
reluctant to play him that. But Leicester are ready to cut their
losses for a player who had one of the best goal to games ratio in the
Premier League when he was in the books of Manchester City.
Many observers expected him to feature in the goalless draw against
Fleetwood in the FA Cup last weekend. But he only got 10 minutes.
Which showed his position in the manager's thoughts.
For a player whose talents is not in doubt especially his intelligence
in front of goal and his scoring prowess, it's clear that his move to
Leicester has not worked out well even though it is just six months
into it. An early divorce could be it as far for the 21 year old as
far this report is concerned.
