Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho in transfer talks to Aston Villa

He scored 61 goals and provided 34 assists in 232 games for the Foxes, the vast majority of which were in the Premier League. But with a new chapter awaiting the club, it looks like he too will embark on a new challenge of his own.

A beneficial business

Leicester City are in a position where they need to raise funds, so Iheanacho leaving for nothing is not ideal. He’s someone he could probably get a decent fee for if he was under contract.

However, his exit will mean a good chunk of the payroll, which will be beneficial.

Expect spending to be fairly low this summer despite the need to recruit for Premier League football. PSR penalties likely await regardless, but limited spending reduces the chances of further violations of tightening rules and regulations.
