FOXES HOPEFUL ON DEAL

Leicester City boss Craig Shakespeare is hopeful a deal to bring Kelechi Iheanacho to the club can be completed soon.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, he said of a deal for the Man City striker: "I'm hoping so, but I am like every other manager at the moment. I think we all find it frustrating but it is the current market.

"At the moment, of course, we are interested in players as most of the Premier League is, but you can see that clubs won't really talk about it until they are over the line."

Pep: "I don’t want to say something wrong but I think Kelechi going to leave for Leicester."

KELECHI TO THE KING POWER

Kelechi Iheanacho to have Leicester medical as he closes in on £25m move from Man City | @JPercyTelegraph

Exclusive: Man City insist on £50m buy-back option as Kelechi Iheanacho moves to Leicester City in £25m deal

Manchester City have insisted on a £50 million buy-back option for Kelechi Iheanacho, as the striker closes in on his protracted move to Leicester.

Iheanacho had a medical at Leicester's training ground on Tuesday and is set to finally join Leicester for £25m in the next 48 hours after the deal was held up due to a row over image rights with his former agents.

As revealed by Telegraph Sport last month, Leicester agreed a fee and terms nearly four weeks ago for the Nigeria international and have had to be patient while the impasse with his agents was resolved.

But with the striker now poised to officially become a Leicester player, it has emerged that Manchester City have struck an agreement which will see them given the first option to re-sign the 20-year-old if he proves a success at the King Power Stadium.

Iheanacho remains highly thought of at the Etihad Stadium, after progressing through the club's academy, and City have inserted a clause to buy him back for £50m. Leicester were happy to agree to the clause, as they will double their money in the event of the forward proving a massive hit in the East Midlands.

It is understood that Leicester have secured Iheanacho's signature ahead of Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Monaco, and the deal represents a huge coup for new manager Craig Shakespeare. Iheanacho, 20, could make his Leicester debut in Friday's friendly against Borussia Monchengladbach at the King Power Stadium.

Shakespeare said earlier this week: "I'm hoping he will be available for the game at Arsenal, but I am like every other manager at the moment. I think we all find it frustrating but it is the current market.

"You saw with the Harry Maguire one, we got that done quick. When he is in the door, we can announce it.

"At the moment, of course, we are interested in players as most of the Premier League is, but you can see that clubs won't really talk about it until they are over the line."

IHEANACHO PASSES FOXES MEDICAL

Man City striker Kelechi Iheanacho has completed his medical and is on the verge of joining Leicester.

SSN understand personal terms have been agreed and the £25m transfer, which gives City the option to buy him back for £50m, is nearing completion.

City believe the 20-year old Nigerian has the potential to become a world-class goal scorer, but presently they are struggling to guarantee him regular first-team football.

Iheanacho, who joined the City Academy as a 17-year old, has played 46 games for City in the past two seasons.

He's signed! 🙌

IHEANACHO SIGNS

Iheanacho, 20, put pen to paper on a five-year contract on Thursday, having undergone a medical at the club's training ground earlier in the week.

The deal represents quite a coup for new manager Craig Shakespeare and Iheanacho, who was also a reported target for West Ham earlier this summer, could make his Leicester debut in Friday's friendly against Borussia Monchengladbach at the King Power Stadium.

Kelechi Iheanacho: Leicester City sign Manchester City striker for £25m

Leicester City have signed striker Kelechi Iheanacho from Manchester City for a fee understood to be £25m.

The 20-year-old Nigeria international, who scored 21 goals in 64 games after making his debut for Manchester City in 2015, joins on a five-year-deal.

Last August, he signed a new contract until 2021, but saw his playing time limited by the January arrival of Brazil forward Gabriel Jesus.

"It feels good and I'm happy to be part of this team," he said.

"I know the ambition of the team and speaking with the manager, he let me know what I need to do - to help the team achieve what they want. I was convinced and I'm happy to be here."

Foxes manager Craig Shakespeare added: "It's a great signing for us. Kelechi is an enormously talented player that has shown a huge amount of promise at every level in which he's played.

"We've tracked his progress for some time, so we know how much quality he'll bring to the squad.

"He's young, he's hungry, he's ready for the next stage of his development and I'm delighted that will be with Leicester City."

Iheanacho becomes the fourth addition to Shakespeare's squad for the new campaign - goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic and defender Harry Maguire both joined from Hull City while midfielder Vicente Iborra signed from Sevilla.

【now.com體育】效力曼城的20歲尼日利亞前鋒伊恩拿祖，周四落實轉投李斯特城，合約期至2022年夏天。伊恩拿祖表示，這次轉會是一個正確的決定，希望協助球隊取得成功。

李斯特城周四宣佈，成功從曼城引入20歲尼日利亞國腳伊恩拿祖（Kelechi Iheanacho），雙方簽下為期5年的合約。伊恩拿祖接受球會官網訪問時表示：「我跟領隊談過，知道球隊想要的是甚麼，給予了我很大信心，能夠融入球隊。」

伊恩拿祖又指：「對我來說，來李城是一個很好的決定——不只是自我改進，我亦希望協助球隊達成目標。這是一個正確的決定。」成為球隊今夏第4名新兵的伊恩拿祖，將會穿起8號球衣；李城周五友賽慕遜加柏，他屆時或會演出其「地標」。

前年8月為曼城處子上陣後，伊恩拿祖總共為球隊披甲64場，攻入21球，其中在2015/16球季協助球隊贏得英聯盃，惜上季不獲新帥哥迪奧拿重用，最終決定離隊他投。
