West Brom to battle Aston Villa for Iheanacho ahead new season

Newly promoted side West Brom are on the heels of Leicester City forward, Kelechi Iheanacho who is also a target of another English Premiership League side, Aston Villa.

Villa stepped up their chase for the Nigerian international who scored 10 goals and bagged four assists in 29 appearances last season.

They appear not bothered about his lack of playing time since linking up with the Foxes from Manchester City in 2017.

The midland side who escaped relegation in the just concluded season are looking to reinforce their strike force. The trio of Wesley Moraes, Mbwanna Samatta, and Keinan Davis scored a combined total of six league goals.
