Newcastle United are in the hunt for wantaway Leicester striker Kelechi Iheanacho.
Reports claim the Nigeria international is seeking an exit from the King Power Stadium, where he has failed to make a real impact this season.
The Magpies are however “waiting in the wings” for the 21-year-old, who signed for the Foxes for £25 million in the summer.
Iheanacho scored twice on Saturday as Leicester thrashed League One Peterborough 5-1 to advance to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
For some unknown reason, Iheanacho is well out of favour at the King Power, despite the Foxes spending £25 million on the Nigerian in the summer.
Iheanacho arrived with so much expectation, but has not been given the chance to fulfil it yet in the Midlands.
A move up north could be seriously fruitful however, with the Mapgies in need of a goalscorer, and Iheanacho showing what he can do with 21 goals at Manchester City after breaking into the first-team.
