Crystal Palace pull out of deal to sign Iheanacho after Jean-Philippe Mateta's hat-trick 

Crystal Palace have reportedly pulled out of a deal to sign Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho.

According to Evening Standard, the Eagles have dropped their interest in the Leicester City striker to focus on more versatile attacking options.
​
​
​Crystal Palace wanted the Nigeria international to replace Jean-Philippe Mateta who has been linked with RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund but the French forward is now set to stay at Selhurst Park after his 22-minute hat-trick against Plymouth in the Carabao Cup.
​
​
With Leicester City getting relegated to the Championship, Iheanacho has attracted the interest of Premier League clubs.
​
​
Besides Crystal Palace, Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Ham have also been reported to be interested in his services in a bid to bolster their attacking options before the end of the transfer window.
​
​
​The Manchester City Academy product is an experienced Premier League player which informs the reason behind him being linked with a return to the English top-flight.
​
​
The 26-year-old has made 196 career appearances in the Premier League registering 42 goals and twenty-eight assists combined for Leicester City and Manchester City.
