STRIKER Kelechi Iheanacho has completed his
medical at Leicester ahead of a £25million move from Manchester City to
the King Power Stadium.
The
20-year-old Nigerian had agreed personal terms with the Foxes and he is
expected to complete the move today. A deal had been in the pipeline
for a number of weeks, but there was
a dispute
to settle between his old agents and new representatives. That had been
resolved, and a buy-back clause had been agreed between the two clubs so
the deal can proceed.
Iheanacho joined Man-
chester City’s academy at the start of 2014, before breaking through to
the first team a year later. He scored his first senior goal against
Crystal Palace at the start of the 2015-16 sea- son, going on to net 14
times in all competitions.
Last season he scored scored seven times and Pep Guardiola had agreed to let the 20-year-old move on.
Leicester,
who also wanted to add another centre back, was still pondering a
second bid for 20 year-old Coventry City striker, George Thomas
