The Leicester City striker, is reportedly considering leaving the club as his contract nears its expiration, with Crystal Palace emerging as a potential destination, Soccernet.NG reports.
Since returning from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, Iheanacho has found his playing time limited, prompting speculation about his future.
Despite interest from prominent Turkish teams like Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, and Besiktas, who see Iheanacho as a valuable addition to their squads, the lure of the Premier League remains strong for the Nigerian forward. Crystal Palace, known for scouting talent from the Super Eagles, appears keen to unite Iheanacho with compatriots Wilfred Ndidi and Raphael Onyedika.
Iheanacho, having made 22 appearances this season, often as a backup to Jamie Vardy and Patson Daka, is seeking more consistent playing time. His preference to stay in one of Europe’s top leagues and play a more central role might make Crystal Palace an attractive option.
