Official: Sevilla FC sign Kelechi Iheanacho

• Iheanacho joins the Spanish La Liga club on a free transfer
• He commits to a two-year deal
• The Super Eagles star will share the same dressing room with international teammate Chidera Ejuke

Sevilla FC have officially signed Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho, making him their their fifth acquisition of the summer transfer window.

Iheanacho joins the Spanish club on a two-year contract after departing Leicester City, where he spent seven productive seasons.

The 27-year-old forward played a key role in Leicester City's recent success, including helping the team win the FA Cup and assisting in their promotion back to the Premier League this season following relegation last year.

Iheanacho's move to Sevilla comes amidst interest from several Premier League clubs, including West Ham, Everton, and Crystal Palace, who were keen to retain his talents in England.

However, the Spanish outfit ultimately secured his signature, adding significant firepower to their attacking lineup.

At Sevilla, Iheanacho will reunite with his Nigerian compatriot Chidera Ejuke, further strengthening the club's international squad.

Iheanacho's career began in 2014 in Nigeria before he moved to Manchester City in 2015. There, he featured prominently in the youth setup before making 64 first-team appearances, scoring 21 goals and providing seven assists over two seasons.

In 2017, Iheanacho transferred to Leicester City, where he amassed 232 appearances, 61 goals, and 34 assists across all competitions up until the 2023/24 season.

His experience also extends to European competitions, having played 19 matches in the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League combined.

On the international stage, Iheanacho has earned 55 caps for Nigeria, scoring 19 goals. One of his career highlights was winning the Under-17 World Cup in 2017.
