- Updates on Iheanacho’s future direction towards Nottingham Forest Everton links
Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca has revealed that the club is set to sit down with Kelechi Iheanacho regarding the extension of his contract.
Iheanacho has only one year left on his contract with Leicester City, which puts his future in doubt.
The 2013 FIFA U17 World Cup Golden Ball winner has been linked with possible moves to Everton and Nottingham Forest, as well as Saudi Pro League clubs, in this transfer window.
The 26-year-old, despite struggling to nail a berth in the Foxes’ starting XI since his arrival in 2017, has established himself as a fan favorite.
Last season, he was crowned Player of the Year after registering 8 goals and five assists across all competitions.
He has also started this season in decent form, registering two goal contributions in 3 games.
