Sky Bet Championship club Watford has expressed interest in signing Nigerian international Kelechi Iheanacho from Sevilla in the upcoming winter transfer window.
Iheanacho joined Sevilla as a free agent during the summer after leaving Leicester City. However, the 28-year-old forward has struggled to make an impact in La Liga, failing to score or assist in nine league appearances. Despite his league form, Iheanacho has managed to find the net three times in the Copa del Rey.
Sevilla Open to Selling
According to Spanish outlet Fichajes.net, Sevilla is reportedly open to selling Iheanacho after his underwhelming performance so far.
The striker’s potential availability has also attracted interest from La Liga side Las Palmas, setting up a possible bidding war in January.
Watford, aiming to bolster their attacking options as they push for promotion to the Premier League, sees Iheanacho as a valuable addition despite his current struggles in Spain.
If the transfer materializes, the move could provide Iheanacho with an opportunity to reignite his career. Watford’s interest highlights their confidence in the player’s potential to rediscover the form that once made him a standout performer in the Premier League.
The winter transfer window will reveal whether Iheanacho’s journey continues in England, Spain, or elsewhere.
