Iheanacho, currently at Leicester City, has attracted interest from Aston Villa due to his goal-scoring ability and versatility in attack.
However, his limited playing time recently has raised questions about his fitness and durability. Dr. Brar, a physical therapist and sports scientist, addressed these concerns in an interview with Villa News.
Dr. Brar assured that Iheanacho’s injury history should not deter potential suitors. Despite the Nigerian forward’s sporadic appearances, there are no significant red flags regarding his physical condition that would impede a transfer.
This assessment provides Villa with the confidence to proceed with their interest in the striker, aiming to bolster their attacking options for the upcoming season.
Iheanacho has been a key player for Leicester City, known for his clinical finishing and ability to play in multiple attacking roles.
His potential move to Villa is seen as a strategic acquisition to enhance the squad’s depth and offensive capabilities.
