Nottingham Forest Eye Leicester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho as Key Transfer Target
Nottingham Forest are actively pursuing Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho as they look to strengthen their squad for the ongoing Premier League season. With the transfer window nearing its end, Forest are eager to add more attacking depth to their ranks, and Iheanacho has emerged as a prime target for the club.
The 27-year-old Nigerian international has been one of Leicester City’s most consistent performers in recent seasons, despite the club’s relegation to the Championship last term. Iheanacho’s ability to find the back of the net and his experience in England’s top flight make him an attractive option for Forest manager Steve Cooper, who is keen on adding proven quality to his squad.
Since joining Leicester from Manchester City in 2017, Iheanacho has scored 28 goals in 121 Premier League appearances. His versatility is also a key factor, as he can play both as a central striker and in a deeper role, providing Cooper with tactical flexibility. Forest, who have already made several signings this summer, believe that Iheanacho could be the final piece of the puzzle in their attacking lineup.
The move to Nottingham Forest could also appeal to Iheanacho, as it would allow him to continue playing at the highest level in English football. With Leicester now in the Championship, a return to the Premier League might be an enticing prospect for the striker, especially with a club like Forest that has shown ambition in the transfer market.
Negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing, with Forest hopeful of striking a deal before the transfer window closes. If the transfer goes through, it would be a significant boost for Forest as they aim to consolidate their place in the Premier League and avoid a relegation battle.
