Nigeria and Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho is on the verge of making a £25 million ($32 million) move to Leicester City.

The 20-year-old Nigerian is in “advanced talks” with the Foxes and is thought to be keen to make the switch – according to the BBC.

Iheanacho has scored 21 goals in 64 games in all competitions since making his debut for Manchester City in 2015.

Last August, he signed a new contract until 2021, but saw his playing time limited by the January arrival of Brazil forward Gabriel Jesus.
