Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho is poised for a medical ahead of his anticipated transfer to seven-time UEFA Europa League champions Sevilla FC.
After his contract with English Premier League club Leicester City expired on June 30, Iheanacho became a free agent, attracting significant interest from various clubs eager to secure his creative talents for the upcoming season.
Sevilla has emerged as the frontrunner to sign the Nigerian forward, with his agent actively negotiating potential deals. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Iheanacho and Sevilla have agreed on a two-year contract.
Iheanacho's Imminent Medical
If all goes as planned, Iheanacho is set to travel to Spain for his medical tonight, with the official signing expected tomorrow. The club is anticipated to make an official announcement following the completion of his medical and contract signing.
Reuniting with Ejuke
This move will see Iheanacho join compatriot Chidera Ejuke at Sevilla, rekindling a partnership similar to his previous one with Wilfred Ndidi at Leicester City.
Sevilla has been strengthening its ties with Nigerian football, not only by signing players like Ejuke and Iheanacho but also through collaborations with the Nigeria Premier Football League on strategic planning and development. This deepening connection is likely to expand Sevilla's fan base in Nigeria.
