Iheanacho - Watkins to form deadly attack? Aston Villa target January move for Super Eagles striker

Iheanacho could depart Leicester City in the January window, with Aston Villa emerging as frontrunners to secure his signature.

The 27-year-old will be a free agent next summer and Leicester may be forced to cash out in January, rather than letting him walk for nothing.

Iheanacho has been in fine form this season, notching 6 goals for the Sky Bet Championship side as they maintain their promotion chase, but a move to a team at the upper end of the Premier League table will certainly appeal to the ex-Manchester City man.

Aston Villa, according to Football Insider, have identified Iheanacho and RB Leipzig’s Timo Werner as potential targets.

A move for the Leicester man would prove the more sensible option, with just six months left on his deal.
