Aston Villa is reportedly eyeing Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho as a potential transfer target, according to Football Insider. Leicester City has been performing well in the Championship, currently sitting at the top of the table, with their strong attack playing a significant role in their success. However, the team’s starting striker position has been up in the air, with Jamie Vardy, Patson Daka, and Iheanacho all taking turns in the starting lineup. With Iheanacho’s contract set to expire at the end of the season and uncertainty surrounding his future with Leicester City, Aston Villa has emerged as a potential destination for the Nigerian talent. Aston Villa coach Unai Emery is reportedly in search of a striker to provide competition for Ollie Watkins, and Iheanacho’s situation has captured the attention of the Villa Park. With several options already available to Leicester City, including Vardy, Daka, and summer signing Tom Cannon, a winter move for Iheanacho may make sense for all parties involved. It could allow Leicester City to receive compensation for the striker rather than risk losing him for free in the summer, while also providing Iheanacho with a more certain future. The potential transfer remains to be seen, but a winter departure for Iheanacho seems plausible.
