Agent confirms Hammers interest in Iheanacho
The agent of Kelechi Iheanacho has confirmed that six teams have approached his client, with West Ham being among them.
He has confirmed that West Ham, Everton, Southampton, Borussia Dortmund, West Brom and Hoffenheim have registered interest in the striker.
Speaking to OwnGoalNigeria, Iheanacho’s agent said this:
He has been linked to almost every club this summer, it’s a good feeling to be honest, it tells you a lot about his abilities. Officially we have had bids from five teams while two more have only made inquiries over his availability.
West Ham, Borussia Dortmund, Hoffenheim, Southampton, West Brom and Everton have all registered their interest in his services. The others are just inquiries, we have over 10 teams in that regards.
The 20-year-old has started five Premier League games this season – with four league goals to his name.
The Nigerian has also scored two goals in one Champions League match – he is a proven goalscorer.
Iheanacho made his breakthrough in the 2015/16 season as he scored 15 goals in all competitions for City – despite only starting 12 games.
West Ham have struggled to find a consistent goalscorer up front this season, with injuries aplenty, so Iheanacho could be just the man to change that.
