Sevilla set to offload Kelechi Iheanacho as January approaches

Spanish La Liga side Sevilla could put Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho on the market this January as they seek to bolster their attacking options.

Having joined the club in the summer after leaving Leicester City, where he spent seven seasons, Iheanacho arrived in Seville with high expectations.

However, his time at the club has been less than fruitful.

Since his arrival, Iheanacho has struggled to find his footing, managing only five appearances without contributing a single goal or assist.

This lack of impact has mirrored Sevilla's own difficulties in front of goal, as the team netted a mere ten times in their opening ten La Liga matches.

With such disappointing statistics, the club is reportedly exploring other attacking talents to strengthen their squad.

According to reports from Fichajes, Sevilla are eyeing potential signings for the January window, but first, they need to offload Iheanacho to create space on their wage bill.

The Nigerian forward finds himself at a crucial crossroads; if he can turn his form around and make an impression on the pitch, he may yet secure his future with the club.

Otherwise, the club's move to sell him could become a reality as they seek a more effective attacking solution.
