STRIKER Kelechi Iheanacho has completed his medical at Leicester ahead of a £25million move from Manchester City to the King Power Stadium.

The 20-year-old Nigerian had agreed personal terms with the Foxes and he is expected to complete the move today. A deal had been in the pipeline for a number of weeks, but there was

a dispute to settle between his old agents and new representatives. That had been resolved, and a buy-back clause had been agreed between the two clubs so the deal can proceed.

Iheanacho joined Man- chester City’s academy at the start of 2014, before breaking through to the first team a year later. He scored his first senior goal against Crystal Palace at the start of the 2015-16 sea- son, going on to net 14 times in all competitions.

Last season he scored scored seven times and Pep Guardiola had agreed to let the 20-year-old move on.

Leicester, who also wanted to add another centre back, was still pondering a second bid for 20 year-old Coventry City striker, George Thomas
