Striker looks set to leave Etihad this summer in search of regular football and could make a move to the Midlands

Gabriel Jesus’ arrival means there’s even less chance of a place in the starting XI at City now.



And Iheanacho will look for another Premier League team to give him the game time he craves.

Everton are believed to be interested as they search for Romelu Lukaku’s replacement.

While West Ham want a new forward to lead the line following a disappointing campaign at the London Stadium.

However, the Birmingham Mail claims West Brom are now in the hunt for Iheanacho, with the club yet to replace January departure Saido Berahino.

It’s said that Iheanacho’s agent has confirmed the Baggies’ interest, but has also revealed there are three more clubs in the hunt.

They include Southampton, Hoffenheim and Borussia Dortmund, with the latter having the extra edge of boasting Champions League football.
