According to recent reports, Leicester City striker, Kelechi Iheanacho, has attracted interest from Saudi Arabia and a host of Premier League sides.

The Nigerian international has become a familiar face to fans across the Premier League, working his way through the ranks at Manchester City and moving to the Foxes in 2017.

During his time at the King Power, the 26-year-old has made 205 appearances – scoring 55 and assisting 33, whilst winning the FA Cup along the way.

However, after the 2015-16 Premier League winners were relegated last season, Iheanacho’s future has been surrounded with doubt and is reportedly set to leave the club this summer.

Star man James Maddison was the first player to leave the Foxes, as he joined Tottenham Hotspur for around £40m and Iheanacho is expected to follow suit.

Many clubs are said to be interested in the former Manchester City player, however, a move to Saudi Arabia appears to be the most likely outcome this summer.

Saudi Arabia has seen football become more and more popular over recent years, with one of the best players throughout history, Cristiano Ronaldo, signing in January this year.

This summer window has seen a plethora of elite players follow suit, as N’Golo Kante, Karim Benzema, Roberto Firmino and Edouard Mendy have all moved to the ever-progressing country.

The Leicester City star  has one-year remaining on his current deal in England, meaning the club may want to cash in this summer.

A move to Saudi Arabia is not the only option for the Foxes ace, as a variety are also keen on landing the Nierian’s signature this summer.
