Fenerbache are reported to be chasing Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho in a loan deal on the back of the massive coup of signing Mesut Ozil from Arsenal.

The Istanbul side have already formalised their signing of Nigerian-born Bright Osayi-Samuel from English Championship side QPR.

Leading newspaper Bild reported that the 24-year-old striker was one of several targets for Bundesliga side RB Leipzig.
