Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho has discussed his loan move away from Sevilla and his plans to revive his career in Spain.

Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho is determined to make his mark at Sevilla following the conclusion of his loan spell at Middlesbrough last season.

The Nigerian international has returned to the Spanish club, eager to earn regular playing time and showcase his abilities.

Can Iheanacho recapture his best form?

Speaking to Mundo Deportivo, Iheanacho shared his excitement about being back. “I’m really excited to be here. It’s a wonderful place.

"It was good to go out and to feel football in a different environment,” the one-time FA Cup winner said.

He further expressed his affection for the club, stating, “Seville is a great club. I loved my experience there. It’s a great team and I’ll be happy to get back there.”

Iheanacho’s 2024/25 season was challenging, managing just three goals in 11 appearances for Sevilla and one in 15 games at Middlesbrough.

Despite his commitment to reintegrate and contribute, Sevilla might explore transfer options for the striker.

Currently, no concrete rumors have surfaced about potential suitors or a departure, but a big pre-season may bode well for the ex-Manchester City man.
