Sevilla FC has officially signed Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho to a two-year contract following the expiration of his seven-year tenure with Leicester City. Iheanacho's move strengthens Sevilla's attacking options as they look to improve their performance in La Liga and beyond.

In a significant transfer move, Sevilla FC has officially announced the signing of Nigerian international Kelechi Iheanacho on a two-year contract. The deal follows Iheanacho’s departure from Leicester City, where he spent seven years. His contract with Leicester ended on June 30, making him a free agent.

Iheanacho's signing is a major boost for Sevilla, who secured his services despite competition from other top European clubs. The Nigerian forward underwent a medical examination with Sevilla, which was followed by the official confirmation of his move.

Sevilla FC, a seven-time Europa League champion, aims to strengthen its attacking options with Iheanacho, who previously played for Manchester City before joining Leicester. His arrival at Sevilla will also reunite him with fellow Nigerian Chidera Ejuke, enhancing the club's connection with Nigerian football.

Despite a 14th-place finish in the last La Liga season and no European competition this year, Sevilla's acquisition of Iheanacho is expected to bolster their squad. The forward's skills and experience will be crucial as the club looks to improve its performance in the upcoming season.

Iheanacho’s transfer marks a new chapter in his career and provides Sevilla with a talented player who has previously showcased his abilities in both domestic and international competitions.
