Iheanacho set to join Sevilla
According to Sky Germany, the Super Eagles forward will join seven time UEFA Europa League winner Sevilla as a free agent, with medicals booked for next week.
He will team up with compatriot Chidera Ejuke, who joined the club weeks ago and scored in his first pre-season match for the club against Al-Ittihad.
According to Birmingham Live, Aston Villa were one of the Premier League clubs that showed interest in the former Manchester City striker, but the deal depended on the sale of Colombian Jhon Duran.
