| Kelechi Iheanacho |
Everton and West Ham United have both shown interest in
Manchester City youngster Kelechi Iheanacho, according to reports.
The Nigeria international has seen his playing time limited
since the arrival of manager Pep Guardiola last summer, starting just five
games in the Premier League – one of those coming in 2017.
Despite his lack of impact this term, The Sun claims that
Everton are preparing a shock £20m move for the 20-year-old, who they see as a
potential replacement for Chelsea-linked striker Romelu Lukaku.
A City insider is quoted by the publication as saying:
“Everton have shown an interest in Kelechi, who has been frustrated with a lack
of game time this season.
“He is highly-rated here, but has not started a match since
January 2 whereas I’m sure he would get lots of first-team action elsewhere.
“Pep is looking to bolster his ranks and spend a fair chunk
of cash this coming transfer window and the club could be persuaded to sell
should the right offer come in.”
