“I believe” – Carlton Palmer makes £15m claim involving Leicester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho
Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho is reportedly attracting interest from Inter Milan.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Leicester City may demand at least £15 million for striker Kelechi Iheanacho in the January transfer window.
- Iheanacho’s strong performances this season have attracted interest from Inter Milan.
- Leicester face a big decision regarding Iheanacho’s future as his contract is set to expire at the end of the season.
Pundit Carlton Palmer believes Leicester City will demand at least £15 million for striker Kelechi Iheanacho in January.
Iheanacho remained at the King Power Stadium this summer following the Foxes’ relegation from the Premier League, despite being linked with the likes of Roma, Everton and Crystal Palace.
The 27-year-old, who joined the club from Manchester City for £25 million in 2017, has enjoyed a strong start to the season, scoring five goals in 13 appearances in all competitions, including three in his last three league games.
However, Iheanacho is said to be attracting interest from Inter Milan ahead of the January transfer window, and with his contract set to expire at the end of the campaign, Leicester would be facing a big decision should the Italian giants make an offer.
The Foxes currently sit top of the table after winning 10 of their first 11 league games, and they are already 10 points clear of third-placed Preston North End.

Speaking exclusively to Football League World, Palmer revealed that he expects Leicester to wait and see what offers they receive for Iheanacho before making a decision, and he believes the Foxes will demand at least £15 million for the striker.
