Middlesbrough announce Iheanacho signing

Sky Bet Championship side Middlesbrough have announced the signing of Kelechi Iheanacho from Sevilla on loan until the end of the season.

The former Leicester striker was presented to the Boro fans ahead of the visit of Sunderland to the Riverside Stadium on Monday night.

Iheanacho, 28, joined the La Liga club after the expiration of his Leicester contract in the summer, but only started five league games.

He started out at Man City as an 18-year-old where he was a League Cup winner before joining Leicester in 2017.

The forward was a promotion winner with Leicester last season before joining Sevilla during the summer. He has three goals from 11 appearances in Spain.

He featured 232 times for the Foxes and scored 61 goals with five of the goals netted in 23 Sky Bet Championship games.
