Iheanacho Set for Championship Return

Kelechi Iheanacho is set to join Middlesbrough on loan from Sevilla after a difficult spell in Spain.

The Nigerian forward, who moved to Sevilla on a free transfer last summer, has struggled to make an impact, failing to score in nine league games.

Transfer expert Ben Jacobs reports that Middlesbrough edged out Scottish giants Celtic to land the 28-year-old.

Iheanacho, who played in the Championship last season and helped Leicester City secure promotion to the Premier League, will now look to revive his form in England’s second tier.

The striker was on the bench in Sevilla’s recent 1-1 draw with Getafe, underlining his reduced role at the club. Middlesbrough, currently seventh in the Championship with 44 points from 29 matches, hopes his arrival will boost their push for promotion.
