German club intensify interest in Iheanacho

Hoffeinheim are following up their interest in Nigerian striker, Kelechi Iheannacho and are set to offer him a season long loan deal, according to The Sun.

The 20-year-old signed an extension to his Manchester City deal at the start of the season that will keep him at the Etihad until 2021 but he has failed to figure prominently as expected.

However, this season has seen him score just seven goals and create three assists for the team majorly due to lack of playing-time as he is currently behind Sergio Aguero and new boy Gabriel Jesus in the pecking order.

But Hoffenheim who are preparing for life in the UEFA Champions league next season are hoping to strike a deal that will favour both parties as they look to take the Nigerian on a season long loan.

Guardiola insists that he admires Iheanacho‘s commitment and work-rate in training but there are question marks over whether the Nigerian fits into his style of play.
