Plan for Iheanacho’s exit? Leicester City eye Montpellier forward amid Super Eagles star’s link to Nottingham Forest

Kelechi Iheanacho has been linked with a move away from the King Power stadium with interests from Nottingham Forest, Everton, and a host of other clubs

Leicester City are reportedly interested in signing Montpellier Hérault SC forward, Stephy Mavididi, as attacking reinforcement next season, Soccernet.ng reports.

Meanwhile, Nigerian forward, Kelechi Iheanacho, has piqued the interest of clubs like Nottingham Forest, Everton, and some Saudi Arabia clubs. He predicted the Nigerian would embrace the offer as he would want to keep playing top football.

The former Manchester City forward played a crucial role for the Foxes in the 2022-23 English Premier League campaign despite their sad exit from the top-flight.

This has, however, linked him to some clubs who still have the ticket to play the Premier League 2023-24 season as a big reason to lure him to play in the top division.

Despite the rumours, it is suggested that the East-midlands are also preparing for the future exit of their stars, as they reportedly eye Mavididi to bolster their attack.

This would, however, see Leicester locking horns with Club Brugge, and LOSC Lille for his signature, as his club are willing to cash in on him since he is in the last year of his contract.

There are concerns about the futures of players like Jamie Vardy, Iheanacho, and Patson Daka, and Harvey Barnes is almost certainly going to leave this summer.

The 25-year-old, who could be a known name to some EFL supporters, might take Iheanacho’s spot in the front two.
