Report: Crystal Palace want to sign Kelechi Iheanacho ahead of Frank de Boer arrival

Crystal Palace are ready to back new manager Frank de Boer with a move for Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho, a report claims.

Crystal Palace have expressed a serious interest in signing Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho, according to reports.

The 20-year-old played just 528 minutes of football in the Premier League for the Citizens last season, although he still contributed four goals and three assists.

Palace are reportedly set to appoint Frank de Boer as their new manager in the coming days and, according to The Mirror, are hoping to boost his attacking options from the off with the signing of Iheanacho.

The report also suggests that the Eagles will have to battle with West Ham United and Leicester City for the Nigerian forward's services, and that Man City will not do a deal unless a buy-back clause is inserted in the player's contract.

Iheanacho, who joined Man City's academy in 2014, has been also linked to Everton, West Bromwich Albion and Southampton.
