West Ham United, Crystal Palace, and Brentford are all in the running to sign Leicester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho in the January transfer window, according to reports from TEAMtalk. Although Crystal Palace reportedly had their sights set on the forward in the summer of 2023, all three clubs are vying for his signature.
Iheanacho is set to become a free agent at the end of the season, and Leicester City manager, Enzo Maresca, is keen on securing a new contract for the Nigerian international. However, with Leicester aiming for automatic promotion from the Championship to the Premier League, the club is eager to hold onto Iheanacho.
The 27-year-old forward has been in good form, scoring five goals and providing one assist in his seven starts and eight substitute appearances in the Championship this season. With his contract expiring soon, there is potential for a big-money move, but it might benefit both parties for Iheanacho to see out his contract with Leicester before considering other options.
Iheanacho’s impressive record in the Premier League, with 42 goals and 25 assists in 196 appearances, makes him a sought-after player, and it remains to be seen whether West Ham United will be successful in their pursuit of the talented forward.
