Iheanacho drops hint on Sevilla future

On-loan Sevilla star Kelechi Iheanacho has this week dropped something of a hint regarding his future plans with the club. Frontman Iheanacho is for his part fresh off sealing a move away from Nervión. Just six months on from his free agent arrival at Sevilla, the Nigerian international was farmed out on loan, linking up with English Championship side Middlesbrough.
