Aston Villa set to make January move to sign Man City flop striker

In the upcoming transfer window, Unai Emery’s team might try to sign Kelechi Iheanacho, a former Manchester City player.

This season, Aston Villa has surprised everyone with their strong play.

They are now in third place, two points behind Arsenal.

With Moussa Diaby joining them last summer, their vicious attack has been a major factor in their success.

Iheanacho of Leicester City is reportedly the main target for the former Arsenal boss, who has made acquiring a new striker a priority.

Leicester City wants to gain automatic promotion to the Premier League as they presently lead the league by three points.
