Unai Emery-led Aston Villa is poised to compete with English Premier League rivals Crystal Palace and Turkish sides Galatasaray for the signature of Kelechi Iheanacho, as reported by Soccernet.ng.
Iheanacho has seen limited time on the pitch since his return from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations tournament, leading to speculation that he may seek a move away from the Foxes.
However, his contract with the Blues is slated to end at the end of the season, and there has been no signs that the Nigerian could be getting a new deal.
In response to his situation, several Turkish clubs, including Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, and Besiktas, have expressed strong interest in acquiring the services of the Nigerian attacker, considering him a valuable addition to their squads and seeking to strengthen their attacking options.
However, reports from Football Insider indicate that Aston Villa is also considering entering the race to sign Iheanacho, potentially setting up a battle with Palace.
Currently sitting seven points clear in the EPL top four, Aston Villa is a strong contender for UEFA Champions League qualification.
This could serve as a significant factor in attracting Iheanacho to Villa Park, especially given that his contract with Leicester City expires at the end of the season.
