Nottingham Forest is reportedly eager to secure the services of Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho as they look to bolster their squad for the upcoming season.
The Reds have already initiated contact with Leicester City and are optimistic about reaching a favorable agreement.
Iheanacho, who hails from Nigeria, is believed to be keen on departing the Foxes following their relegation from the Premier League. Having joined Leicester City from Manchester City in 2017, the 26-year-old is now seeking a new challenge.
Throughout his tenure at Leicester City, Iheanacho has exhibited impressive form, netting 55 goals and providing 33 assists in 206 appearances across all competitions.
His consistent contributions have not gone unnoticed, and Nottingham Forest is eager to harness his talent to enhance their offensive capabilities.
Should Iheanacho complete the move, he will join the ranks of Nottingham Forest, becoming the third Nigerian player to don their colors alongside Taiwo Awoniyi and Emmanuel Dennis, who are already part of the squad. The inclusion of Iheanacho would add further diversity and strength to Forest’s attacking options.
Meanwhile, another Nigerian compatriot of Iheanacho, Wilfred Ndidi, is also expected to depart Leicester City this summer. The talented midfielder has attracted interest from prominent teams such as Scottish Premiership giants Glasgow Celtic and Saudi Arabian club Al Shabab.
Ndidi’s potential departure from the Foxes highlights the dynamic changes occurring within the Leicester City squad.
Nottingham Forest’s pursuit of Iheanacho and the potential exit of Ndidi represent significant developments in the summer transfer market.
Forest fans eagerly await the final outcome, hoping that Iheanacho’s arrival will inject renewed energy and firepower into their team, while Leicester City supporters brace themselves for potential changes as their squad undergoes a transformation ahead of the new season.
