Several reports indicate Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho is on the verge of joining La Liga side Sevilla on a free transfer.
Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news on Sunday morning, stating that a deal has been reached between the player and the Spanish club.
Iheanacho, who recently parted ways with Leicester City after his contract expired, will be teaming up with compatriot Chidera Ejuke at Sevilla.
The latter also joined the Andalusian club on a free transfer this summer.
The move is expected to be finalised in the coming days as the final paperwork is completed.
Sevilla are bolstering their attacking options ahead of the new La Liga season, and the addition of the experienced Iheanacho is seen as a significant coup for the club.
