West Ham United have made a bid for Kelechi Iheanacho.
According to the Mirror, the Hammers have launched a bid to bring the Man City striker to their club. Manchester City have rated the striker around the 20 million pound price range.
But as of now, West Ham’s initial bid is far off City’s asking price. We are pretty sure that the initial bid will be rejected and the Hammers will have to put forward a new one.

But if Slaven Bilic can come up with a decent enough offering then Guardiola will certainly let the striker go. While City see a lot of potential in the 20-year-old but they also know that it will be tough for his to break into the first team.

And now with the signing of Gabriel Jesus, Iheanacho has fallen further down the pecking order. Man City might also look to send out the striker on loan. But the Hammers are keen on making a more permanent deal.
The Nigerian youngster joined the club in 2015 and since then has gone on to make 64 appearances for the club. He has scored 21 goals in those appearances.
West Ham have already signed ex-City player Pablo Zabaleta on a free transfer last week. Will Bilic be able to bring in a second City player under his roaster?
