Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho has been exempted from training at Sevilla as the club is looking to sell him off this summer, Soccernet.ng reports.
Iheanacho completed a free transfer to Sevilla last summer after a seven-year stint with Leicester City. When he made the move, he was expected to do big things, especially after his exploits at Leicester City.
However, things have not panned out as he would have hoped. The 28-year-old forward has struggled for playing time at Los Nervionenses, as he has registered just nine league appearances.
He has also featured twice in the Copa Del Rey, registering three goals in two appearances for Sevilla.
Due to his lack of game time, there have been a lot of talks that Iheanacho could leave the club this January. This is as Sevilla are also looking to bring in some reinforcements to aid their push for a better placement in La Liga.
Now, according to a report from Zona Mixta, the Nigerian forward has been exempted from training as Sevilla are planning to let him go this January.
