Kelechi Iheanacho Set To Join Sevilla On A Free Transfer

Meanwhile, Super Eagles player, Kelechi Iheanacho, is poised to finalize a transfer to La Liga club Sevilla.

According to Sky Sports transfer expert, Florian Plettenberg, Iheanacho has reached a verbal agreement with the team regarding the move.

The Nigeria international is expected to undergo medicals early this week before signing his contract.

Kelechi Iheanacho will be joining the former UEFA Europa League winners on a free transfer.

He will team up with compatriot Chidera Ejuke, who joined Sevilla weeks ago and scored in his first pre-season match for the club against Al-Ittihad.

Aston Villa was one of the Premier League clubs that showed interest in the former Manchester City striker, but the deal depended on the sale of Colombian forward, Jhon Durán.

Duran, who had an agreement on personal terms with Chelsea, saw the deal collapse after Villa and the Blues could not agree on a fee. He is now close to joining West Ham.

Iheanacho spent seven years with Leicester City, during which he scored 61 goals and provided 34 assists in 232 appearances for the former Premier League champions.
