West Ham close in on Iheanacho

West Ham United have tabled a £20m bid for Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho, according to the Mirror.

They have already completed the signing of full-back Pablo Zabaletta, and are preparing another raid on the Citizens as they look to strengthen their attack.

Iheanacho has struggled to hold down a first team place at the Etihad Stadium with Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus ahead of him in the pecking order and manager Pep Guardiola is willing to let him move on.

The twenty-year old broke into City’s first team in the 2015/16 campaign and has since racked up fifty-eight appearances in all competitions though he has started just twenty of those games.

He has scored twenty-one times, a tally that includes the decisive goal in the Manchester Derby at Old Trafford last September while he has scored five times in just eight games for Nigeria since making his debut twelve months ago.
