Leicester City have agreed a deal in principle with Manchester City for the transfer of striker Kelechi Iheanacho, according to Sky sources.

The fee could rise to £25m for the 20-year-old but there are a number of contractual issues still to address - including whether or not there will be a buy-back clause, allowing Iheanacho to return to the Etihad for a fixed price in the future.
