Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho could be on his way out of Sevilla in the January transfer window, as the Spanish club looks to strengthen its attack by signing a more effective striker, according to reports from Ficherio.
Iheanacho joined Sevilla during the summer after his contract with Leicester City ended. While he showed flashes of brilliance during his seven years in England, he often struggled with consistency. Sevilla signed him with the hope that he would boost their offensive firepower, but he has yet to make the desired impact.

Since joining the club, Iheanacho has made just five appearances and hasn’t contributed to any goals or assists. This lack of productivity has coincided with Sevilla’s own struggles in La Liga, where they’ve only managed to score ten goals in ten matches.
As a result, the club is now reportedly exploring new attacking options for the January transfer window. To make room for a new striker, Sevilla may need to free up funds and reduce their wage bill, which could lead to Iheanacho being put up for sale.
Despite these reports, Iheanacho still has a chance to prove himself. While adapting to Spanish football can be challenging, he will need to start delivering results soon if he wants to secure his future at Sevilla. The pressure is on, and if his form doesn’t improve, the club may decide to part ways and bring in a more effective goal scorer.
