Leicester have completed the signing of Manchester City attacker Kelechi Iheanacho and West Ham must look to take advantage of such a deal.

The Foxes confirmed the deal on their official Twitter account in a deal that sees the 20-year-old star put pen to paper on a five-year deal with the 2015-16 Premier League champions.

This Is Futbol has picked out one dream signing and a reality one that West Ham could use the Iheanacho deal to lure one of two Leicester attackers to the London Stadium.

Reality: Ahmed Musa

Speed machine Musa starred for the likes of CSKA Moscow in the Champions League but has since failed to hit the heights at the King Power Stadium after completing a move to Leicester last summer.

The Nigeria international is renowned for his incomparable pace and eye for goal, but he managed just 13 starts and 32 overall appearances last season, in which he scored four goals for Craig Shakespeare’s side.

Now that Leicester have completed the signing of Iheanacho, Musa’s position in the side will have become even less attainable and a move away from the club should be the order of the day.

West Ham will still be on the lookout for options out wide due to the disappointing form of Robert Snodgrass and Sofiane Feghouli, despite the signing of Marko Arnautovic, and signing Musa would give Slaven Bilic something different.

Here is an alternative to Musa that West Ham could sign, with a £20million bid reportedly rejected for his services earlier this week:
