Super Eagles and Leicester City attacker, Kelechi Iheanacho’s Foxes future continues to swirl and seems to be gathering momentum.
The former City striker has struggled for form, doing not impress at the King Power in the past two seasons.
Despite the Foxes replacing Claude Puel last season with Brendan Rodgers, Iheanacho’s fortune has not changed under the Irishman.
He has not featured in the league this season, except for two Carabao Cup appearances where he bagged two goals against Luton and Burto Albion, respectively.
The 23-year-old alongside quintet Nampalys Mendy, Daniel Amartey, Filip Benkovic , Matty James and Papy Mendy are definitely going to be put up for sale in January.
The description of Iheanacho’s time at the King Power aptly suggests he’s on his way out.

“Iheanacho just hasn’t cut it at Leicester City–at least not yet. Since his £25m move from Manchester City, it just hasn’t gone right for the Nigerian. In over two years, he has scored just four league goals in 54 league appearances and these days, seldom makes the bench.
“Iheanacho is yet to make a Premier League appearance this season and has only made the bench four times from City’s 12 league games,” it reads.
The Nigeria international’s £60,000 weekly salary is also a financial burden the Foxes directors will be eager to scrap off their wage bill.
“But what use is having a player on good wages, worth as much as Iheanacho is, if you can’t even trust him to do a job off the bench?
“He needs to go out on loan to gain confidence, to get in the market window, or whatever the reason may be,” the tabloid stated.
