Middlesbrough Secured Loan Signing of Kelechi Iheanacho

On the eve of the closing of the transfer window, the Nigerian centre-forward has found a new opportunity to revive his career. A loan agreement has been reached by Iheanacho with Middlesbrough FC as he leaves Sevilla after a challenging spell in Spain, stated on foot-africa.com.

Having joined the Spanish club last summer from Leicester City, the 28-year-old player found himself struggling to get consistent playing time, under coach García Pimienta. Eager to reignite his form, the forward is now heading back to England, this time to compete in the Sky Bet Championship.

The loan agreement, which will keep Iheanacho at Middlesbrough until the conclusion of the 2024/25 season, was officially announced by the club on February 3, 2025. This move offers Iheanacho a fresh chance to prove himself and regain his best form.
