Championship side Leicester City faces a decision over the future of striker Kelechi Iheanacho in the final days of the transfer window, should Crystal Palace make an official bid for the Super Eagles international.

Palace have been linked with an interest in the Nigerian this summer and the Independent claim that the Eagles will “make a move” for the player should Jean-Philippe Mateta leave for RB Leipzig before the end of the transfer window.

Roy Hodgson is desperate to add goals to his frontline after club legend Wilfried Zaha departed for Galatasaray, and knows Mateta is ready to explore a move away with both Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig interested.

The Foxes do not want to lose Iheanacho, but Palace knows he will be available on a cut-price deal with his contract set to expire next summer.
