Transfer: Iheanacho won’t rule out Sevilla return
Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho is not ruling out rejoining Sevilla, a Spanish team.
On Monday, Iheanacho went on loan to Middlesbrough, a team in the Sky Bet Championship.
Six months after leaving Leicester City for Sevilla, the attacker is back in England.
According to the 28-year-old, he had a good time at Sevilla and is excited to rejoin the team.
“Obviously, it’s good to leave (England). To feel like I’m in a different environment. It’s a good atmosphere there,” he told Middlesbrough’s official website.
“It’s a great club. I’ve loved my experience there. Sevilla is a great team. I’ll always be happy to go back there. I’m here now. I’m focused on what I can achieve here.”
He signed for two seasons with Sevilla, with the option for one more, arriving in a free transfer after his time at Leicester City.

Most popular ex-captain and head coach of the Super Eagles, Christian Chukwu, is dead.
He was 74.
The football legend reportedly passed away in the early hours of Saturday though the exact circumstances surrounding the situation remain unclear as of the time of filing this report.
His longtime teammate and friend, Dr. Olusegun Odegbami, confirmed the development.
Odegbami, who won the 1980 Africa Nation Cup with Chukwu, said: ‘I just received the news that between 9:00 and 10:00 this morning, “Chairman” Christian Chukwu, MFR, my bosom friend and teammate, one of the greatest football players in Nigeria’s history, has passed on’.
Born 4 January 1951, Chukwu had an illustrious career with Rangers captaining them to many laurels on the domestic football scene and led the Flying Antelopes to continental glory by winning the now rested African Cup Winners Cup in 1977.
