Kelechi Iheanacho closes in on £25m move to Leicester as Manchester City striker heads to Midlands for medical

Striker Kelechi Iheanacho will undergo his Leicester City medical on Tuesday ahead of a £25million move from Manchester City to the King Power Stadium.

The 20-year-old Nigerian has agreed personal terms with the Foxes and will now head to Belvoir Drive to complete the move in the next 24 hours.

A deal has been in the pipeline for a number of weeks, but there was a dispute to settle between his old agents and new representatives.
