Kelechi Iheanacho arrives in Spain to sign contract with Sevilla
Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho has landed in Spain to finalize his move to Sevilla, marking a new chapter in his football career.
Iheanacho, who has been without a club since his departure from Leicester City in June 2024, is set to join the Spanish side on a two-year contract.
According to sources close to Iheanacho, Sevilla has put together an attractive offer that includes a lucrative compensation package, outbidding German club Stuttgart, which also showed interest in the Nigerian forward.
Sevilla’s move to sign Iheanacho reflects the club’s growing connection with Nigerian football. The La Liga team has already strengthened its ties with Nigeria through the acquisition of Chidera Ejuke. Iheanacho’s imminent transfer further deepens this bond, reuniting him with his compatriot Ejuke, similar to his previous partnership with Wilfred Ndidi at Leicester City.
In addition to these personal connections, Sevilla’s collaboration with the Nigeria Premier Football League on strategic planning and development highlights the club’s commitment to expanding its influence in Nigerian football. This partnership aims to enhance Sevilla’s engagement with the Nigerian fan base and promote football development in the country.
Iheanacho’s arrival at Sevilla is expected to be officially announced soon, and fans will be eager to see how the Super Eagles star performs in La Liga.
