Iheanacho rejected offers from the Premier League and Germany to choose Seville
ABC de Sevilla says Kelechi Iheanacho rejected offers from Premier League sides including Aston Villa, Ipswich Town and Nottingham Forest as well as the German Bundesliga to accept the move to LaLiga side, Sevilla.
The Nigerian left Leicester City as a free agent at the end of June and will be playing his football in the LaLiga after nine years in the Premier League where he featured in 196 games and scored 42 goals.
ABC de Sevilla says the Nigerian will be in Seville on Tuesday evening to start his medicals before signing a two year deal with an option for an extension.
Iheanacho is coming to Sevilla as a replacement for the club’s top scorer Youssef En-Nesyri who was sold to Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce this summer.
The 27-year-old will be aiming to help Sevilla back towards the top of La Liga under new head coach Garcia Pimienta after they came 14th last term, their lowest finishing position since they returned to the Spanish top tier in 2001.
