Crystal Palace hold a strong interest in Kelchi Iheanacho and are likely to make a bid if Jean-Phillipe Mateta leaves the club.
Iheanacho has been with the Foxes since 2017 and the club have no interest in letting him go.
With Palace losing star man Wilfred Zaha this summer and a lack of goals from Odsonne Edouard, Jordan Ayew and Mateta, a striker is on the agenda.
According to Evening standard, two bids from RB Leipzig for the Eagles’ striker has been rejected.
The first was a loan bid and second was in the region of £7 million.
Should Leicester City sell Kelechi Iheanacho?
With Patson Daka having one step out the door, unless a replacement can be signed as soon as possible, no, Kelechi Iheanacho can not be sold.
He has played a part in all three league games so far this season and scored in the EFL Cup first round game.
Clearly the Nigerian striker has a part to play under Enzo Maresca this season.
The issue comes with his contract situation.
As most players who were at the club last season, his contract is almost out. He has a single year remaining on his deal.
In this respect, a sale would be beneficial but a replacement needs to be lined up and done before a sale.
With all that being said, Mateta needs to be sold first for this merry-go-round to start turning.
