DEAL CLOSE! Leicester winning race to sign Manchester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho

Leicester are making progress on a deal to sign Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho, it is understood.

The 20-year-old Nigeria international started just five Premier League matches for City last season but is still expected to cost the Foxes around £25million.

West Ham had also been heavily linked to the forward but Leicester have moved to the front of the queue, though final details are not thought to be finalised yet.

Iheanacho totalled seven goals in all competitions last term, having scored double that amount in his maiden season at the Etihad Stadium.
