Crystal Palace are eyeing a potential transfer swoop for Kelechi Iheanacho and his teammate at Leicester City.
According to Alan Nixon, the Eagles are keeping tabs on the future of Iheanacho and Daniel Iversen.
The future of goalkeeper Vicente Guaita has seen the Premier League side weigh up the signing of a new potential first-choice between the sticks.
Kelechi Iheanacho is also being considered by Palace as they look to bolster Roy Hodgson’s attacking options.
The Nigerian has featured in all three of Leicester’s league games this season, starting twice in Enzo Maresca’s side.
He has yet to score in the Championship this season, with speculation surrounding his future throughout the summer.
It remains to be seen whether Palace could match Iheanacho’s asking price, with the Foxes currently only interested in permanent offers for players in the remainder of this window.
The forward has been with Leicester since the summer of 2017, signing from Manchester City.
During his time at the King Power Stadium, he has contributed 30 league goals from 153 appearances.
It was initially reported earlier in the summer that Leicester are hoping to earn between £10 to 15 million from any sale for Iheanacho.
The 26-year-old has just 12 months remaining on his current contract, meaning that this could be Leicester’s last chance to cash-in on the forward.
If no agreement can be reached over a fresh deal for Iheanacho, then Palace may be able to take advantage and seal a cut-rate price for the striker.
