Transfer: Aston Villa step up Iheanacho chase

Aston Villa have held talks with Kelechi Iheanacho’s representatives over a summer move, according to Football Insider.

Villa’s transfer chief, Ramon Monchi reportedly met Iheanacho’s camp in Greece before his team’s UEFA Europa Conference League clash with Olympiacos on Thursday.

Iheanacho is set to leave Leicester City after turning down fresh attempt to extend his contract.

The forward’s current contract will expire at the end of June.

Aston Villa are keen to add more firepower to their attack despite the presence of Ollie Watkins and Jhon Duran.

Iheanacho was on target five times in 23 league appearances for the Foxes last season.

He arrived the King Power Stadium from Manchester City in 2017.
