Kelechi Iheanacho
Super Eagles attacker Kelechi Iheanacho is closing in on a transfer from Sevilla to Turkish Super Lig club Samsunspor, Soccernet.ng reports.
Coming into this summer, it was almost certain that Iheanacho would leave Sevilla this summer.
Recall that he joined the Seville-based club in a free transfer last summer. But his first few months at the club were disappointing, as he had to play second fiddle to a struggling Isaac Romero.
Due to his lack of minutes, Iheanacho left Sevilla for Middlesbrough, in a six-month loan transfer. Still, he failed to make a mark there, as he contributed just one goal and two assists in 15 appearances. And at the end of the campaign, Middlesbrough decided against signing him.
Since then, there have been a lot of speculations around Iheanacho....
