Super Eagles striker, Kelechi Iheanacho, is reportedly considering a departure from Leicester City as his contract with the club approaches its end this season, as reported by Soccernet.ng.
Iheanacho’s time on the pitch has been limited since his return from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
This lack of consistent playing opportunities has fueled speculation that he may be looking to move on from the Foxes.
In light of his situation, several Turkish clubs, including Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, and Besiktas, have shown strong interest in acquiring the services of the Nigerian attacker. They see him as a potential key addition to their squads and are eager to bolster their attacking options.
However, amidst the Turkish interest, Crystal Palace has emerged as a contender for Iheanacho’s signature.
The Premier League club has been actively scouting Super Eagles talents and is keen to add Iheanacho to their roster, alongside fellow Nigerian stars Wilfred Ndidi and Raphael Onyedika.
Despite the allure of a potential move to Turkey, Iheanacho’s heart may be set on a return to the Premier League.
His desire for regular playing time and the chance to prove himself in one of Europe’s top leagues could sway his decision in favour of Crystal Palace.
So far this season, Iheanacho has made 22 appearances in the Championship out of a possible 43. While he has shown his quality on the pitch, he has often been utilized as an alternative to Leicester’s frontline duo of Jamie Vardy and Patson Daka.
Given his talent and potential, Iheanacho is a player who deserves a regular starting role. If Crystal Palace can offer him the opportunity to be a key figure in their squad, it may be an offer too good to refuse.
Ultimately, the decision rests with Iheanacho and his representatives. However, if Crystal Palace can present a compelling offer that aligns with his aspirations, a Premier League return could be on the cards for the talented Nigerian striker.
