Besiktas planning move for Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho?

Besiktas have reportedly identified Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho as a potential January signing.

Despite costing the Foxes a fee of £25m in August 2017, Iheanacho has contributed just four goals from 16 starts and 35 substitute outings in the Premier League.

Each of those appearances came in his first two seasons in the East Midlands, with the Nigeria international not featuring in the top flight so far during the current campaign.

According to Fotospor, Besiktas will look to put together an 18-month loan deal for the 23-year-old if Ahmet Nur Cebi is elected as the club's new president.

The report suggests that contact has already been made with Iheanacho's agent ahead of an official approach at the beginning of 2020.
