Chidera Ejuke has expressed confidence that his fellow Nigerian, Kelechi Iheanacho, will soon start making a big impact at Sevilla.
Iheanacho, who joined the LaLiga side on a free transfer this summer, is yet to fully settle in and show the kind of performances many expected from him. Despite his struggles so far, Ejuke believes it is only a matter of time before the striker hits top form again.
Iheanacho, now 28, has featured in five matches for Sevilla but is yet to register a goal or assist. This has led to some concerns from fans and critics alike, as they had high hopes for the Nigerian forward when he made the move to Spain.
However, Ejuke remains optimistic about his compatriot’s abilities. He believes Iheanacho has the quality to turn things around and start contributing positively to the team.
