Per reports in the Turkish media, Super Lig giants Fenerbahce are interested in the services of Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho.

Iheanacho has been with Leicester since August 2017 after joining from Manchester City for over €27 million.

The 25-year-old’s five-year stay with the Foxes may, however, be drawing to an end, with Fenerbahce making him their number transfer target this summer.

According to the Turkish news outlet Futbol Meydani, the former Turkish champions have contacted Leicester City regarding a move for the Nigeria international.

Negotiations are reportedly progressing positively, with Fenerbahce offering to take Iheanacho on a season-long loan, with the option to make the move permanent at the end of the campaign.

No thanks. Typical Turkish enquiry. Loan for a season and an "option" to buy. At the moment we need to be playing him more not sending him out.

[FoxesWalk]

I hope Brendan goes before he does, quality player with good end product. Not given enough game time.

[StanSP]

No. Iheanacho has to stay. Used right, he could be lethal. 

[surrifox]

No loaning to Turkish clubs and no buying players from Liverpool . Thanks , you’re welcome 

[ronnup]

I reckon ors a miracle he's not pushed for move before now

[fox_favourite]

In a front 2 and a run, think he could be good. He’s definitely not a striker that can play up top on his own. Keep for me.

Why would we sell to a relegation rival? 

[lcfc sheff]

For his own sake I hope he can find the right club. If I had it my way I’d be playing him in a 4411/442 back to basics and build from there 

[Verumex]

He's way too good for the Turkish league. 

 

With our winger issues, we really should be playing a formation that allows for 2 strikers, and Iheanacho would then be allowed to flourish. 

[Danny280995]

No point selling him, it's to late in the window, we're screwed this season, Top needs to come out a make a statement and explain what's exactly happened

[JimJams]

Unless we're bringing goals in, we can't be shipping goals out. 

[Ric Flair]

Hahahahaa absolutely no point loaning him unless it's an obligated fee next summer north of £25m which no Turkish side would ever pay.

 

Iheanacho, along with Soyuncu are absolute mysteries that there aren't a queue of teams looking to pick a player up who has proven in patches to be excellent players and likely on reasonable wages compared to most and still only 25-27 which is perfect ages for many teams.

Just two reasons I think. We want too high a fee and value for money not there. Personally I rate both players but the Irishman doesn't.

We’ll really regret selling iheanacho before bringing in a manager who knows what to do with him. 
 

I think if he went to a Brighton or even maybe Newcastle he’d have the same impact Jesus is having at Arsenal 

[Grebfromgrebland]

Rather than getting rid of players we should just change the manager first and let them decide who goes!

This is why I don't want him to leave. He needs a manager that believes in him and once that's in place, he's clearly very effective. 

 

Going somewhere else, where he's been given a solid chance and faith, will result in him banging in plenty of goals/assists. And we'll be seething at another poor transfer decision. 

 

Thankfully I can't see Newcastle going for him - They forked out money for Wood in January and have Wilson there.

 

Brighton could be a logical choice considering Maupay/Forest transfer.

[Danny280995]

To late for that, if brendan goes new manager wont have time to decide who goes and he wants, our summer finish, Fofana and tielemans need to go, but we won't buy replacements it's to late for that 

[Corky]

Probably the most effective player in the last 18 months (Maddison aside). Manager seems to resent it.

 

Don't sell, another manager could use his quality.

[coolhandfox]

Don't sell a goal scorer, especially if we are going to be fighting at the wrong end of the table. 

[whoareyaaa]

Lets get rid of the manager first.. we can't score goals yet have one of the most effective players on the bench every week.

 

Rodgers is ****ing shit

[AmarteyAndChill]

Manager has to go first. 

[Fazzer 7]

Can fenerbache take Brendan first and we’ll throw Amartey and Vestergaard in for free.
