Iheanacho, currently with Leicester City, is set to become a free agent this summer, igniting interests from various clubs including Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, and Trabzonspor in Turkish.
Aston Villa manager, Unai Emery, reportedly eyes the Nigerian as a key addition to bolster the team’s attacking prowess, especially with the potential prospect of European competitions looming ahead.
Iheanacho’s diminishing role at Leicester City, evidenced by his absence from the match-day squad in recent games, although he featured in the final league game off the bench.
Considering his high wage bill and limited starting opportunities, retaining Iheanacho might not align with Leicester’s strategic plans, particularly as they gear up for another Premier League campaign.
Despite limited starts this season, he scored six goals in 25 league appearances.
The 27-year-old had a stint with Manchester City before joining the Foxes.
