Sevilla head coach reveals shocking updates about the future of two Nigerian strikers

Sevilla head coach, Garcia Pimienta, has spoken about the future of Super Eagles striker, Kelechi Iheanacho, while revealing the fitness updates on their new signing, Akor Adams, Soccernet.ng reports.

Iheanacho joined Sevilla from Leicester City on a free deal last summer, but life in Spain hasn’t been the best for the Nigerian forward.

The 28-year-old is without a goal in the league, and with the presence of Akor Adams in the Sevilla squad, his exit is imminent.

Pimienta, in his interview ahead of Sevilla’s goalless draw against Getafe, revealed the transfer situation of Iheanacho, claiming there are no holds on the Nigerian forward.

“Kelechi Iheanacho has a lot of offers and absolute freedom to decide where he wants to go. It will come together anyway, as soon as there is an offer that satisfies all parties,” the 50-year-old manager said in quotes revealed by El Correo.

Akor Adams came off the bench in the 81st minute, but couldn’t find the back of the net. Pimienta revealed the Super Eagle hopeful needs to be integrated slowly into the team.

“I have to adapt to the virtues of the staff. If we can be more effective with two specific fronts, we will. Akor Adams has to understand the way he trains and play, he’s probably going to do it. Calmly, but he is eager and predisposition that is seen in his eyes; he has a lot of illusion.
