Kelechi Iheanacho’s football career has been a path of transformation; he has switched clubs twice in search of a better opportunity.
Iheanacho joined Sevilla when his contract with Leicester City expired after spending the previous season there, when the club performed admirably in winning the Championship.
Despite scoring three goals in the Copa Del Rey, he only managed to score one goal in 11 games in La Liga, many of which came off the bench.
In pursuit of more regular playing time, he then relocated to Middlesbrough in the English Championship.
During the unveiling of Joaquin Caparros as Sevilla’s new head coach, Orta reflected on the signing, stating, “I want to clarify that the first two strikers were intended to serve as complements, supporting the primary striker, Youssef, and another emerging talent, Isaac. “However, it’s evident that our decision to invest in Kelechi this season didn’t yield the desired results, and we are currently analyzing the factors that contributed to this.” In a separate development, Premier League club Newcastle United are reportedly interested in KRC Genk forward Tolu Arokodare.
The Nigerian forward has scored 20 goals and provided five assists in 38 games across all competitions this season, demonstrating his potential in the Belgian Pro League. It has been reported that Newcastle has contacted Genk to discuss Arokodare, who is valued at €17 million. It should be noted that the 24-year-old turned down a chance to join Turkish Super Lig team Trabzonspor last summer
