Leicester City boss Craig Shakespeare is reportedly keen on signing Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho during the summer transfer window.

Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho is reportedly attracting interest from Leicester City.

Since the end of the campaign, Iheanacho has been linked with a number of clubs, with West Ham United and Crystal Palace both said to be keen on his signature.

However, according to The Telegraph, Leicester are ready to enter the race as boss Craig Shakespeare looks to ease the burden on Jamie Vardy.

It has been suggested that Iheanacho can leave the Etihad Stadium for the right price, with City likely to demand between £20m and £25m despite his lack of action over the past 12 months.

The 20-year-old played just 528 minutes of football in the Premier League, although he still contributed four goals and three assists.

Leicester have already shelled out £17m to sign defender Harry Maguire from Hull City.
