Does Kelechi Iheanacho have a long-term future at the Etihad?

Since bursting onto the scene with Manchester City alongside a whole host of highly coveted and widely admired attacking talent, Kelechi Iheanacho has seen his stock rise considerably among the English top-flight. Yet despite his recent form however, the Nigerian international has reportedly been highlighted as surplus to requirements down at the Etihad.

So just what does the future hold for this potentially great striker?

Well, West Ham United are one of many clubs reportedly interested in the frontman…

 

A #WHUFC move for Iheanacho has progressed significantly. Should be a club-record bid coming very soon.

…especially as Iheanacho himself has fared rather well for City thus far…

 

Kelechi Iheanacho has been directly involved in a goal every 74.9 minutes across all competitions for Man City since 2015/16.

Certain Hammers fans would be gutted to see their side lose out on the Nigerian however…

 

Im sorry @davidgold but if we miss out on Iheanacho then I think it’s time you and Sullivan sell up. This stadium move hasn’t progressed us

…as West Ham aren’t the only Premier League side looking to procure his services…

Yet maybe Leicester City should be looking elsewhere this summer…

 

Think Iheanacho should join West Ham, he’d struggle at Leicester cos of the style of play, he isn’t a v direct player, poor first touch too.

…even if Kelechi Iheanacho comes very highly rated…

 

Think city are mad if they sell Iheanacho he’s quality,would take him at Chelsea

Some clubs may indeed be put off by Manchester City’s supposed buy-back clause…

 

Buying Iheanacho for £25m with a buy back clause of £35m, a good season from him and he’s gone

Whilst certain fans wouldn’t mind seeing it happen…

 

Iheanacho isn’t becoming Man City’s idea of a leading striker any time soon, so forget the buy-back clause and PAY THE MONEY! #COYI

…and if the Nigerian can successfully find the back of the net next season…

 

If THAT rumour about Iheanacho is correct, absolutely buzzing with that. High cost, but great sell on fee included. #lcfc

…perhaps Manchester City will live to regret ever allowing him to leave in the first place…

 

Kelechi Iheanacho, for me would be a tremendous signing for #Saintsfc.
