In a significant move during the summer transfer window, Sevilla FC has officially signed Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho.
The Spanish club confirmed the deal today, marking a major addition to their attacking lineup.
Iheanacho, who has been a key player for Leicester City over the past few seasons, brings a wealth of experience and a proven goal-scoring record to Sevilla. The 27-year-old striker, known for his clinical finishing and versatility in the forward positions, will join the La Liga side on a two-year contract.
Sevilla’s sporting director, Monchi, expressed his excitement about the signing, stating, “Kelechi is a player with exceptional talent and experience at the highest level. He will undoubtedly strengthen our squad and add depth to our attacking options. We are thrilled to have him join us.”
Iheanacho, who joined as a free agent after his contract with Leicester City expired in June, is expected to integrate quickly into Sevilla’s squad. His arrival comes as Sevilla looks to bolster their team ahead of the upcoming season, aiming to compete both domestically and in European competitions.
In his first statement as a Sevilla player, Iheanacho said, “I am very excited to join Sevilla and start this new chapter in my career. I have always admired the club and its passionate fans. I can’t wait to give my best on the pitch and help the team achieve its goals.”
Iheanacho’s move to Sevilla marks a new challenge in his career, as he looks to make a significant impact in La Liga and further establish himself as one of the top forwards in Europe.
