Leicester City lost Kelechi Iheanacho on a free transfer in the summer, with the player wanting to try a new adventure.
Sevilla was the chosen club, and since arriving there’s been a never-ending stream of criticism sent towards Iheanacho.
Fitness worries have held him back, and there were multiple suggestions that he hadn’t arrived at the club in a reasonable condition.
Estadio Deportivo today note that even though things look positive enough for Sevilla as they get away from the relegation zone, that isn’t true for Iheanacho.
The 28-year-old didn’t play against Barcelona or Espanyol, remaining on the bench. He has played only 272 minutes in La Liga and the feeling is that the Nigerian isn’t at the required level to play for the Spanish club.
As a result, the forward’s future is now up in the air already and he could depart in January. His contract Sevilla expires in the summer of 2026 and it isn’t a long-term deal, which could help the Andalusians to move on the ex-Leicester man.
