Middlesbrough, England — Sky Bet Championship side Middlesbrough have completed the loan signing of Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho from LaLiga club Sevilla until the end of the season.
The 28-year-old joins Michael Carrick’s squad after a brief stint in Spain, where he signed for Sevilla on a free transfer last summer.
Iheanacho, a key figure in Leicester City’s successful Championship campaign last season, played a pivotal role in securing their return to the Premier League.
During his time at Sevilla, the versatile striker made 11 appearances across all competitions, scoring three goals.
With a career spanning over 300 professional games and 85 goals, Iheanacho brings invaluable top-flight experience to Middlesbrough. At the international level, he has netted 15 times in 57 appearances for Nigeria.
Having started his professional journey with Manchester City as an 18-year-old, Iheanacho lifted the League Cup before making a switch to Leicester City in 2017.
