Iheanacho moved to Leicester from Man City but has not been able to secure a regular place in the team

Leicester striker, Kelechi Iheanacho, may be joining his Super Eagles teammate, Alex Iwobi at Everton, after the Premier League club showed interest in signing him.
The Nigerian international, who suffered relegation with the Foxes last season, has a year left on his contract.
Iheanacho moved to Leicester from Manchester City in 2017 but has not been able to secure a regular place in the team, despite showing his ability in front of goal.

The 26-year-old forward made 10 goals’ involvements at the King Power last term despite starting only 11 times in his 28 league appearances.
But according to the BBC, Iheanacho could be plying his trade at Goodison Park this season after the Toffees made inquiries about his availability.
Everton are expected to make a first approach for him after they suffered a blow in their pursuit of El Bilal Toure, who has opted to join Serie A side Atalanta.
Last season, the club struggled for goals and barely survived relegation on the last day of the season after losing their main striker, Dominic Calvert-Lewin to injury.
A move for Ihenacho is likely to help them avoid a repeat of such this season, as the Nigerian has proven he is prolific if given the opportunity.
