Kelechi Iheanacho has sparked off a hot chase by Premier League clubs after he refused to renew his contract with newly promoted Leicester City. According to popular sports publication, Football Insider, Iheanacho is now a target for Premier League clubs Aston Villa and Crystal Palace.


His contract runs out next month and he has rejected a contract extension from Leicester City, which means a move to Villa Park or Selhurst Park could be a prospect.


Iheanacho has not been involved at all for Leicester City in their last four games, after losing his position completely to veteran Jamie Vardy and Zambia star Patson Daka.


Turkish giants Trabzonspor are also interested in signing Iheanacho as a direct replacement for fellow Super Eagles star Paul Onuachu.
