Former Manchester City striker, Kelechi Promise Iheanacho, has met with Aston Villa representatives ahead of a summer move to the Villa Park, Soccernet.ng reports.
Unai Emery’s men have been exceptional in the English Premier League this season and have their gaze fixed on a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
Iheanacho’s contract expires in June, and after rejecting a new contract with Leicester City, the Nigerian International is set to end his seven-year stint at the club.
Aston Villa have held initial talks with the player ahead of a summer transfer swoop, considering he won’t be under contract for much longer, opening up the possibility of bringing him to the club on a free contract.
Aston Villa’s interest in Kelechi Iheanacho
Villa are keen on signing Iheanacho, considering it’ll cost them nothing to sign him, aside from his wages. The 27-year-old striker who joined Leicester from Manchester City in 2017 for a fee of £25 million, scored five goals in ten starts for Leicester City in the EFL Championships.
