Al Ahly manager Marcel Koller is said to be keen about augmenting their attack for future competitions.
And according to reports, the Egyptian club have begun talks to snap up Iheanacho from Sevilla this window.
Al Ahly is said to be the top choice to sign the former Leicester City marksman in ongoing transfer window.

This season, he has not scored or assisted in any of his nine La Liga appearances. However, several clubs from Europe and the United States, including teams from Greece, Turkey and America, are interested in him.
