Sevilla’s ongoing struggles in front of goal have put Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho on the chopping block ahead of the winter transfer window.
With just one goal from 14 La Liga matches, Isaac Romero has remained Francisco Javier Garcia Pimienta’s first-choice striker despite his lack of form.
However, the club’s attacking deficiencies are pushing the sporting department, led by Victor Orta, to seek reinforcements.
Disappointing Sevilla Spell for Iheanacho
Iheanacho joined Sevilla last summer from Leicester City but has failed to make a meaningful impact.
His limited playing time and inability to displace Romero, despite the latter’s poor performances, highlight his precarious position in the squad.
Reports from Marca suggest that Iheanacho will be allowed to leave in January as Sevilla look to reset their attacking options.
The move may be in the best interest of both the player and the club.
For Sevilla, securing a more prolific striker is crucial as they aim to turn around their season.
For Iheanacho, departing could offer a fresh start and an opportunity to rediscover the form that once made him a standout at Leicester City.
In a previous report from Sports Buddy, it was revealed that Sevilla are planning a January swoop for Inter Milan striker Marko Arnautovic.
