Blues eye Iheanacho
Chelsea may be looking to land a new striker this summer with question marks over the futures of both Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud.
The Blues are now being linked with a deal to sign in-form Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho, according to a report in Spanish outlet Fichajes.
Iheanacho joined the Foxes from Manchester City in 2017 and despite struggling for minutes for long stretches, he has excelled this campaign with 15 goals and five assists in 31 appearances.
Indeed, 10 of those goals have come in the Nigerian’s last seven appearances and the report also claims Arsenal and Manchester United are interested in the player.

Re: EPL: Kelechi Iheanacho to join Chelsea
Leicester City striker, Kelechi Iheanacho, is set to join Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea this summer.
According to Spanish publications, Fichajes, Tuchel is very convinced in the ability of Iheanacho to improve his team’s attack next season.
Iheanacho is one name being considered by Tuchel at Stamford Bridge should the west London club miss out on signing Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland this summer transfer window.
Tuchel is impressed with the talents of the Nigerian international, who is one of the most in-form strikers in England currently.
The report added that Tuchel is not the biggest fan of Chelsea striker, Tammy Abraham, with the ex-PSG manager leaving the England international out of Chelsea’s starting XI a few times in recent weeks.
Chelsea are also open to the possibility of striker, Olivier Giroud, leaving the Blues at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, Iheanacho has so far scored 15 goals in 31 appearances for Leicester City this season.
The 24-year-old joined Leicester City from Manchester City for £24 million in 2017.

Leicester is in danger of becoming Chelsea’s development squad...
Would be funny if Tammy got ditched for Iheanacho. But I don’t think this news has legs.

Not sure what to think. Can Nacho play Tucheball? His first touch is atrocious more than half the time.

Re: EPL: Kelechi Iheanacho to join Chelsea?
No be our wahala, if the story is true then Tuchel knows why he wants him and has ample video to see his first touch or lack there of. But these coaches know you take the good and the bad with certain players as long as they can help you achieve your goals. In Nachos case he does a lot more good than bad upfront.Robotnik wrote:Not sure what to think. Can Nacho play Tucheball? His first touch is atrocious more than half the time.

Re: EPL: Kelechi Iheanacho to join Chelsea?
men , Kele for stall small before we played the last round of Afcon Qualifiers, LCFC quickly extended his contract. I also read United and assanal are also interested. I am so happy for Kele, form is temp and class is permanent. What we saw in u17s were no fluke. this dude will score more goals...I think he has the best goal ratio to shots in the EPL
yall should pay attention to Kele's off the ball movement .. it is a beauty to watch .. the match against Saints and also westBrom, the way he takes off leaving the CBs when his team mates are on the flanks is sick, then he cuts backwards to free himself, leaving the CBs way ahead... this is his pattern inside the box

Re: EPL: Kelechi Iheanacho to join Chelsea?
this is why i have serious issues with comments like these.... your likes can never view anything else... tell me the Chelsea striker that has more goals than Kele...Chelsea cannot score goals... right now Chelsea plays with a false 9 .. Can you folks for once realize we produce quality strikers, and it is about time our players get back to playing for top teams and competing with class players... If Chelsea offers him a great deal let him go. He dropped down from City to Leicester, wasn't played a lot due to Vardy's class... now the dude is a hot commodity your first comment about touch is to condemn him and then doubt his abilities .... are teams buying strikers for goals or touches.Robotnik wrote:Not sure what to think.

We've seen clumsy Tammy and anywhere belle dey run Timo..... Giroud is like 100 years old...let the boy be wanted stop doubting your country men,
by the way what the heck is tuchel ball? you mean , draws, or 1 zero wins? abi the 5-2 whooping by WestBrom/ the same WestBrom Kele just abused ... aren't these the same teams he would vs in the League? I no get some of una

That strike vs Tottenham a couple of years ago is still a wonder! He deserves to be linked to any club.

Moving forward and challenging oneself was what Ighalo tried to do at Man United. Nacho tried to prove he was better than Aguero earlier in his carrier. I am sure you know how they ended up.Tobi17 wrote:With this kind of mentality you will remain stagnant in lifeRobotnik wrote:Not sure what to think. Can Nacho play Tucheball?

Re: EPL: Kelechi Iheanacho to join Chelsea?
If his reality is that Chelsea actually wants to buy him then he’s being realistic with himself by taking their offer. Abeg wetin consign you sef? You are sounding as if he’s such a useless player that he can’t play at common Chelsea and get paid more. How much different is the current Leicester from a Chelsea? We are not talking Barca or Real Madrid...Robotnik wrote:Moving forward and challenging oneself was what Ighalo tried to do at Man United.

Re: EPL: Kelechi Iheanacho to join Chelsea?
If you have really been watching Kelechi. you'd have noticed that this first touch myth is no longer there. Kelechi has improved his touch so much so that his teammates now find him in very tight spaces, and he now makes plays for his team. Please stay current with the game before displaying your ignorance.Robotnik wrote:Not sure what to think. Can Nacho play Tucheball? His first touch is atrocious more than half the time.
