Iheanacho will go through the usual medical checks before signing a two-year contract with the Rojiblancos.

The 27-year-old previously spent seven years at Leicester City, where he secured the FA Cup with the Foxes during the 2020/21 season.

As a striker, he scored the winning goal as Leicester City defeated his former club, Manchester City, to claim the Community Shield in the following season.

Iheanacho departed from the King Power Stadium last month after his contract came to an end.

He will be teaming up with fellow countryman, Chidera Ejuke, who also made a free transfer to Sevilla.

Sevilla is currently undergoing a significant reorganization after a disappointing season, finishing in 14th position.
