Reports in England are confirming Kelechi Iheanacho could be very close to joining his national teammates, Wilfred Ndidi and Ahmed Musa at Leicester City after Manchester City agreed a ‘deal in principle’ for the Striker.
Manchester City are believed to be holding out for £25million, but there are still contractual issues to sort with Leicester City per Rob Dorsett [Sky Sports]

The deal for the Nigeria International is been held up by image rights issues with his former agents.
City are also not considering an outright sale, hence a buy-back option clause will be inserted in the final contract.
Iheanacho has dispute with former agent over image rights to resolve, and #lcfc and #mcfc yet to agree issue of buy-back option in deal.
