 • Kelechi Iheanacho has been in fine form for Leicester this season, winning the player of the month award for April

 • Manchester City star, Paul Stewart believes his former club might reconsider signing the forward they sold in 2017

A former Manchester City star Paul Stewart says the club might reconsider bringing back in-form striker, Kelechi Iheanacho to the Etihad should he continue his fine form.

Manchester City, who are English Premier League Champions in-waiting are in the market for a replacement to legendary, Sergio Aguero is set to leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season.

Sergio Aguero will leave as the club’s all-time top scorer.

City sold Iheanacho in 2017 to Leicester City but he had failed to live up to his £25 million price tag until lately when Brendan Rodgers decided to play with two strikers and his form has been so good he won March’s player of the month award, according to The Nations.

Speaking on how before this purple patch of form City wouldn’t have regretted selling Iheanacho and how they could bring him back to the Etihad, Stewart who made 63 appearances for Manchester City, exclusively told Futbol: “If it was 10 games ago we wouldn’t be talking about whether they regret selling him or not but, I think he’s scored nine goals in his last eight games and he looks like a world-beater again.

“If City want him back, they can go and buy him because they can afford him and can put pressure on Leicester as they’ll just keep going back with more money until they buckle under the pressure, and Iheanacho may force some of that on Leicester.”
