Kelechi Iheanacho could be on his way out of Manchester City this summer and Leicester City should consider signing him.

Kelechi Iheanacho has found his playing time limited this season under Pep Guardiola, playing only 525 minutes in his 20 Premier League appearances, last playing a full 90 minutes in the league in September.
He has fallen down the pecking order at the Etihad since the arrival of the impressive Gabriel Jesus and it is believed he is looking to find regular first team action elsewhere ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Daily Post reports that the 20-year-old is a target for Tottenham, Everton and West Ham United, but Leicester City should consider moving for the Nigerian international.

Iheanacho, who has scored five goals in his eight international appearances for Nigeria, would be a valuable addition to the fast counter-attacking style implemented at the Foxes.
His positional sense and awareness in the box makes him a goal poaching threat, working brilliantly alongside the hardworking Jamie Vardy and distribution of wingers Marc Albrighton, Demarai Gray and Riyad Mahrez.

The Manchester City youth product also has a brilliant left foot, capable of finishing with deadly accuracy both inside the box and from distance.
His pace and willingness to break forward would play well into Leicester City’s system, making him an ideal fit for a Foxes side that will be looking to build on their successful second half of the season that saw them eventually finish twelth after a torrid start to the campaign.
