Amina UmarLeicester City’s decision to release Kelechi Iheanacho has sparked intense speculation about his potential destination, with Everton emerging as a likely suitor. The Nigerian international’s contract expiration this summer has made him a free agent, and the Toffees are reportedly keen on acquiring his services.However, not everyone is convinced that Iheanacho is the right fit for Everton. Despite his potential, the 27-year-old has struggled to establish himself as a prolific goal scorer, a critical requirement for Sean Dyche’s side. Iheanacho’s lack of impact at Leicester City, even in the Championship, raises questions about his ability to make a significant difference at a club like Everton, which has ambitions to compete at a higher level.Everton’s need for a striker is pressing, given Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s form and fitness issues and the potential departure of Beto. However, the club should aim for a striker with a proven track record of scoring goals consistently in top-flight football, rather than taking a risk on Iheanacho.The Toffees have been linked to other strikers, including Gabriel Suazo and Florentino Luis, and it remains to be seen if Dyche prioritizes signing another striker or waits to see which players leave first. Meanwhile, the club’s takeover saga continues to unfold, with a £94.2 billion update emerging as the Toffees takeover undergoes yet another twist.
