Leicester star Iheanacho lined up for shock summer transfer that would see him play in Europe next season
KELECHI Iheanacho could be set for a move away from Leicester City.
The Nigerian striker, 26, was powerless to save the Foxes from relegation from the Premier League.
But, he could be set for a move to a club who plays European football next season.
According to Fanatik, Super Lig club Besiktas are looking to add the forward to their squad next year.
The Turkish giants have qualified for the Europa Conference League qualifiers next season.
However, an injury to Cenk Tosun has disrupted their plans.
Besiktas have now targeted Iheanacho on an initial loan deal to cover their injury woes.
The report adds that they are ready to offer Leicester half of his yearly salary – reportedly £3.8million.
The former Man City man is out of contract at the King Power next season, meaning he could be available for free next summer.
Like his team-mates, Iheanacho struggled for form at Leicester.
The hitman managed just five goals in the Premier League – eight in all competitions in 35 games.

Across his Leicester career, he has 55 goals in 206 games.
Besiktas are looking to keep up with their rivals Fenerbahce and Galatasaray.
The former added Edin Dzeko to their side, while Mauro Icardi enjoyed a fruitful loan spell at Galatasaray last term.
