Aston Villa have joined the race for the signature of Nigeria forward, Kelechi Iheanacho.
Iheanacho has been frozen out at Leicester City with around two months left on his contract.
The 27-year-old is expected to leave the Foxes on a free transfer this summer.
Aston Villa, according to Football Insider, want to add more firepower to their attack despite already having Ollie Watkins and Jhon Duran in their ranks.
Iheanacho, who is an experienced Premier League campaigner is seen as an ideal acquisition.
The striker could be open to the move especially with Aston Villa in contention to secure a place in the UEFA Champions League next season. READ ALSO:
