Aston Villa are reportedly interested in signing Kelechi Iheanacho, according to All Nigeria Soccer . Iheanacho's contract with Leicester City expires on July 1, 2024, and he has declined offers to extend his stay. Aston Villa needs a new forward to replace Jhon Duran, who is likely to join Chelsea. Iheanacho's Premier League experience and homegrown status make him a valuable asset for Aston Villa's roster.

Iheanacho has an impressive record in the Premier League, with 67 goal involvements, including 42 goals and 25 assists. His experience playing for Manchester City and Leicester City has prepared him for the demands of the English top-flight. The Nigerian striker is four games away from reaching a milestone of 200 games in the Premier League.

Aston Villa's interest in Iheanacho is not surprising, given his skills and experience. The signing of Iheanacho would be a significant boost to Aston Villa's attack, and his homegrown status would be beneficial for their roster. With his contract expiring soon, Iheanacho is an attractive option for Aston Villa, and a potential move could happen in the summer transfer window.
