With Ahly looking towards reaching the pinnacle of African football once again, manager Rene Weiler is said to be looking towards his native country, Switzerland, for attacking reinforcements.
Currently with Walid Azarou, Salah Mohsen and Marwan Mohsen as their three striker options, the four goals between them this season has been a cause for concern.
As a result, Eleke, who starred under Weiler's guidance in the Swiss top-flight, is being targeted as a marquee addition in the January transfer window.
According to KingFut, the lanky Nigerian who is able to feature in any role within a front-three has been sounded out by the Egyptian Premier League champions.
Having splashed R96 million on new players during the off-season, the Red Devils latest endeavour in the transfer market will need to see them off-load one of their foreign stars.
Azarou, Aliou Dieng, Ali Maâloul, Junior Ayayi and Geraldo currently occupy their five available foreign quota spots.
Eleke scored 11 goals and registered three assists in 23 games during his time with Weiler in the 2018/19 season before the manager succeeded Martin Lasarte at Ahly in August.
