He may depart: In a troubling development, major clubs are now vying for Leicester City’s “prolific” star

According to a recent report, one of Leicester City’s first-team stars could leave the club in January since a major club abroad is interested in signing him.

Here is how the club’s outgoings turned out after Enzo Maresca’s team authorized the permanent sales of nine players over the summer and sent three more on loan for the remainder of the campaign to get more consistent playing time:

Permanent departures Loan exits
James Maddison (Tottenham Hotspur) Victor Kristiansen (Bologna)
Harvey Barnes (Newcastle United) Boubakary Soumare (Sevilla)
Timothy Castagne (Fulham) Luke Thomas (Sheffield United)
George Hirst (Ipswich Town)
Youri Tielemans (Aston Villa)
Caglar Soyuncu (Atletico Madrid)
Daniel Amartey (Besiktas)
Ayoze Perez (Real Betis)
Jonny Evans (Manchester United)

However, the King Power Stadium team may still be compelled to make money off of additional players the next season, one in particular being Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who supposedly once received a lot of interest from Liverpool in the Premier League.

With Kelechi Iheanacho’s contract scheduled to expire at the conclusion of the current Championship season (Leicester contracts), the Foxes have also attracted greater attention in relation to the popular player in the Midlands.

Before the deadline in September, the Nigerian striker was rumored to be moving to Crystal Palace, Wolves, Nottingham, and Everton. While a switch didn’t materialize at the time, the 27-year-old is thought to have garnered an international fan.

Update on Kelechi Iheanacho’s transfer

According to FC Inter News, who provided a transfer update on Kelechi Iheanacho, Inter Milan is interested in Leicester’s center-forward but has not yet decided whether to pursue a move. Leicester will have to fight to keep him.

“Kelechi Iheanacho, a 27-year-old Leicester striker whose contract also expires in 2024, is one of the candidates suggested. Its availability is currently noted in Viale della Liberazione, but before making a judgment, it would be necessary to perform numerous evaluations of the Nigerian’s qualities.

Iheanacho has scored how many goals so far?

Iheanacho has amassed an astounding 133 contributions since the beginning of his career, including 86 goals and 47 assists in 292 appearances, demonstrating his “prolific” ability in the final third, as described by football talent scout Jacek Kulig (Transfermarkt – Iheanacho statistics).

Nike-sponsored Maresca’s left-footed ace can do more than simply lead the line as he rates in the 99th percentile for pass completion (FBRef – Iheanacho statistics). He also has good link-up play with his teammates in and around the opponent’s penalty area.

Retaining his services is crucial, and he most certainly deserves to be given a new contract. The Foxes’ £80k-per-week earning (Leicester wages) has the versatility to operate all across the frontline, including out wide on the left and right wings alongside as a second striker.
