Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho is reportedly on the radar of West Ham United and Leicester City.

Leicester City are ready to make a bid of £20 million for Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho, according to The Mirror.

It has been reported that Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare wants the the 20-year-old in his team, and that the Foxes are moving swiftly for the striker.

West Ham United and Southampton are also reported to be interest in the Nigeria international striker.

It seems that Leicester are determined to secure the services of Iheanacho, who is one of the best young strikers in the Premier League.

If West Ham are serious about the youngster, then they must step up and act fast; the Hammers should make a sizeable bid before the Foxes do.

Sky Sports reported last month that West Ham had put in an offer for the City striker, but since nothing has materialised yet, it is safe to assure that it was rejected.

Slaven Bilic’s side should not allow this transfer saga to drag on. Pre-season training will start soon, and before long the 2017-18 Premier League campaign will get underway.

If West Ham are serious about Iheanacho, then they should act now; if not, then they should just pursue other transfer targets.
