Premier League club Everton has emerged as a potential destination for 2013 FIFA U17 World Cup Golden Ball winner Kelechi Iheanacho in the upcoming summer transfer window.
As reported by Football Insider, Everton has expressed interest in signing the Nigerian striker from Leicester City.
Despite Iheanacho participating in pre-season training and the team's friendly matches, there are uncertainties about his future with the Foxes following their relegation to the Championship last season.
With only a year remaining on his contract, Leicester City may opt to sell the former Manchester City academy player this summer rather than risk losing him on a free transfer at the end of the next campaign.
Everton's interest in Iheanacho stems from their desire to strengthen their attacking options after facing goal-scoring challenges during the previous season, netting the second-fewest goals in the Premier League (34).
Despite being in the final year of his contract, Iheanacho's classification as a homegrown player due to his earlier years at Manchester City means he would still command a respectable transfer fee.
With an impressive record of 196 Premier League appearances, 42 goals, and 28 assists, the 26-year-old Nigerian forward possesses considerable experience and potential value for Everton as they look to bolster their squad for the upcoming season.
