Everton are reportedly interested in signing Kelechi Iheanacho from Manchester City in the summer transfer window.

Manchester City's Kelechi Iheanacho misses a chance to score

According to The Sun, Everton are ready to make a £20 million bid for Manchester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho in the summer transfer window.

It has been reported by the British tabloid that Iheanacho is frustrated at his lack of chances under City manager Pep Guardiola this season.

Everton manager Ronald Koeman sees the Nigeria international as a possible replacement for Romelu Lukaku, according to The Sun.

There may be no space for Iheanacho at the Etihad Stadium, but he would be more than welcome at Goodison Park.

The youngster is a hugely talented and promising young forward who showcased his talent under Manuel Pellegrini last season.

During the 2015-16 season, Iheanacho scored eight goals and created 14 chances in 26 Premier League appearances for City.

While the forward is still very young and needs to improve, there is no doubt about his potential; if Everton sign him, then he could be a massive long-term success for the Toffees.

Iheanacho has already shown what he is capable of in glimpses, and under a manager like Ronald Koeman, he is only going to grow and develop as a footballer.

The £20m that Everton are reportedly planning to offer City for Iheanacho could see them sign one of the superstars of the future. Iheanacho is a rare talent, and in the right environment he could develop into a special footballer.
