Kelechi Iheanacho is attracting interest from William Troost Ekong's PAOK Thessaloniki.

Greek champions, Paok Thessaloniki, have reportedly entered the race for the signature of Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho.

Iheanacho is currently on the books of Leicester; however, that is only until the end of the month, as his contract with the Foxes is running to an end. Multiple clubs have reportedly shown interest in signing Kelechi on a free transfer, including Aston Villa in the Premier League. Recently, PAOK have entered the picture.

Iheanacho's contract situation has placed him on the radar of a number of clubs. The 27-year-old was only a squad option for Enzo Maresca’s side this season; he played 23 league games, only 10 of which were starts, scoring five goals and assisting once.

Should the former Manchester City man complete the move to the Greek side, he will be uniting with his national team on-pitch captain, William Troost Ekong.
