Transfer: Marseille move to sign Iheanacho on loan
Olympic Marseille, a Ligue 1 team, is interested in loaning Sevilla forward Kelechi Iheanacho for the rest of the season.
After the Nigerian failed to make an impression after joining on a free transfer last summer, Sevilla is willing to let him go this month.
This week, the Rojiblancos acquired Jerome Akor Adams, a fellow countryman, from Montpellier, a French team.
Despite having other offers on the table, Iheanacho is reportedly leaning toward a move to Marseille, according to French publications.
According to reports, Sevilla and the striker have contacted Marseille.
Before the winter transfer window closes, the 28-year-old is anticipated to make a decision regarding his future.
