The Leicester star has been a key player for Enzo Maresca’s Leicester City, with five goals in 16 games and the most appearances of any striker on the team. Despite his importance, he is now attracting attention ahead of the upcoming January transfer window.
Last season, Kelechi Iheanacho had an impressive record of eight goals and five assists in just 13 starts for Leicester City in all competitions. Normally, this would be enough to secure a move to a top league, especially after a relegation.
However, the 27-year-old remains with the team, thriving in the hopes of helping Leicester City secure promotion back to the top flight.
Now, there are rumors circulating about a potential transfer. According to reports, Turkish side Fenerbahce has made Iheanacho their top target and will pursue a move in the upcoming months.
With Iheanacho’s contract set to expire at the end of the season, Fenerbahce may see an opportunity to acquire him without having to meet his €18 million market value. Leicester City may prefer to sell him rather than letting him leave for free in July.
Fenerbahce is currently leading the Turkish Super Lig table and has a chance of securing Champions League football next season, making them an attractive option for Iheanacho. However, if his main motivation is to play in the Premier League again, staying at the King Power stadium may be the best choice.
With Leicester City at the top of the Championship league, a return to the Premier League could be a real possibility in the near future. Both the club and the player have important decisions to make in a short amount of time.
