Forest and Ipswich Town are locked in a battle for the signature of Nigerian international Kelechi Iheanacho, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
According to a British publication, Football Insider,
Both Premier League clubs have registered their interest in signing the 27-year-old on a free transfer since his contract at King Power expired last month.
They join other clubs—Aston Villa, Trabzonspor, and Galatasaray, among others—that have shown interest in the Super Eagles forward.
Iheanacho, who spent seven years at Leicester City after joining from Manchester City in 2017, saw his contract expire at the end of the 2023/24 season, but the 2016 Premier League champions were not interested in offering him a new deal, unlike his compatriot Wilfred Ndidi.
However, with the season less than a month away, the Nigerian is reportedly linked with several clubs.
“Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town are racing to sign Kelechi Iheanacho after he left Leicester City, sources have told Football Insider,” the website wrote.
“Iheanacho already has offers on the table from clubs in Greece and Turkey, but both Forest and Ipswich are hopeful of convincing him to stay in England.
“The clubs are now set to make formal contract proposals to the striker in the hope of winning the race for his signature.”
During his seven-year spell with the Foxes, Iheanacho made 232 appearances and scored 61 goals for the club.
