Report:£80,000 p/wk Leicester star has rejected new contract offer and set to leave

As Leicester City closes off what promises to be an incredible season in which they win the Championship,

questions about Kelechi Iheanacho‘s future are raised. The 27-year-old is at a crossroads in his career because

his contract expires this summer.

Iheanacho’s experience at the King Power Stadium has been uneventful, with both moments of genius and

difficult times. His form has been inconsistent this season; in 22 Championship games, he has only scored five

goals in the league.

In spite of this, Leicester City has chosen to extend an offer to the Nigerian international,

but Business Day reports that the former Manchester City forward is prepared to turn down any further

development from the Foxes.

Aston Villa has become the front-runner in the competition to recruit Iheanacho in the middle of this

uncertainty. According to reports, the Premier League team is very interested in hiring him, presumably to

serve as a backup for star striker Ollie Watkins.

Kelechi Iheanacho of Leicester is a striker that Aston Villa plans to use as Ollie Watkins’ backup next season.

Under Unai Emery’s direction, Villa have experienced a comeback, putting up a fierce fight for a coveted UEFA

Champions League spot. The main complaint leveled at the team during this incredible campaign is that they do

not have enough depth in the forward positions.

Jhon Duran, 20, is the team’s reserve striker at the moment.

Iheanacho is even more motivated by the possibility of playing in the top club championship in Europe.

He might be inspired to display his skills and find his best form again by the allure of playing in the Champions

League, which used to make him a highly sought-after striker in England’s top division.
