Nottingham Forest, Saudi clubs want Iheanacho

Nottingham Forest are keeping tabs on Leicester's Kelechi Iheanacho ahead of a potential summer move, according to a report.

Iheanacho is one of several Foxes players set to leave the club following their relegation from the Premier League and he won't be short of offers from the top division.

Forest are yet to make a signing this transfer window, enduing a quiet start to the summer after signing a staggering 29 players in their first season back in the division.

But moves are set to be made and it's understood manager Steve Cooper is looking to add to his attacking ranks after his side managed just 38 goals in the league last season.

According to Foot Mercato, negotiations have started over a deal for Iheanacho with both sides open to a deal.

Iheanacho has scored 55 goals for Leicester since joining from Manchester City for £25million in 2017 but has been frustrated by a lack of game time under both Brendan Rodgers and Dean Smith.

Iheanacho's contract runs out in 2024 and it's unlikely he'll want to stay in the Championship for too long if he's not sold this summer, so he's incredibly unlikely to sign a new contract.

While it's unclear how much he would cost Forest, but Leicester would almost certainly make a heavy loss on what they paid for the Nigeria international.

Iheanacho is also attracting interest from the Saudi Pro League.

SkySport Germany’s transfer expert, Florian Plettenberg, has revealed that several Saudi Arabian clubs have submitted substantial offers to acquire the services of the former U-17 Golden Boy.

Although Iheanacho has yet to comment on the transfer or his club, as Plettenberg reported. But, his absence from training sessions in the East Midlands has raised eyebrows.

The future of the talented Nigerian forward remains uncertain as potential suitors line up to secure his services, leaving fans eagerly awaiting further developments in this ongoing transfer saga.
