Kelechi Iheanacho is a subject of interest from Premier League club, Crystal Palace.

According to The Sun, Palace have initiated talks with Sky Bet Championship club, Leicester City regarding the move.

Iheanacho has one-year remaining on his contract and seems not willing to sign an extension.

The 27-year-old was previously linked with another Premier League club, Everton.

The Nigeria international had an outstanding campaign for Leicester City last term despite the club’s relegation from the Premier League.

Iheanacho was the Foxes top scorer in the campaign and also scooped Player of the Season prize.

He joined Leicester City from Manchester City in 2019.

It was initially reported earlier in the summer that Leicester are hoping to earn between £10 to 15 million from any sale for Iheanacho.

The 26-year-old has just 12 months remaining on his current contract, meaning that this could be Leicester’s last chance to cash-in on the forward.

If no agreement can be reached over a fresh deal for Iheanacho, then Palace may be able to take advantage and seal a cut-rate price for the striker.
