Recently promoted Championship side Leicester City have reportedly identified their number one summer target ahead of next season.

Leicester City are reportedly hot on the heels of Luton Town striker Elijah Adebayo.

The Foxes, who have gained promotion back to the top flight are making sure to start their transfer business early, and have identified the 26-year-old English-born Nigerian attacker as a potential recruit.

Leicester City want Adebayo to replace Iheanacho?

This could be directly linked to the future of Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho, who has shown no willingness to extend a contract that expires on June 30, 2024.

Jamie Vardy is 37, and no longer at the level he used to be, meaning the Foxes must bring in a new striker for next season.

According to Transfermarkt, Adebayo is valued at 12 million euros (N20 Billion).

Luton Town are on the brink of relegation which could speed up a move for the 10-goal striker.
