According to a report in The Sun, Everton are set to submit a £20 million bid for Manchester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho.

Iheanacho is said to have become frustrated at City, and could look to move on in the summer.

The Nigerian international has slipped down the pecking order with Pep Guardiola’s side since Gabriel Jesus’ arrival in January.

Iheanacho has started just one match for City in 2017, and City could look to cash in.

Everton are prepared to invest a considerable amount of funds in the 20-year-old, with Ronald Koeman a big fan.

Iheanacho has been on the verge of a break through at City for some time, but has not made the final step.

When given game time, Iheanacho has always looked a threat and he boasts an excellent goalscoring record.

Iheanacho has scored 21 senior goals in 63 games for City, with most these appearances coming as a substitute.
