Super Eagles and Middlesbrough striker, Kelechi Promise Iheanacho, is set to fight for his place in the Sevilla team after his loan spell in the EFL Championship ended, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 28-year-old moved to Spain last summer off the back of Leicester City's promotion to the English Premier League, but he didn't settle down in the first six months, struggling for goals at Sevilla.
In a bid to get his career back on track, Iheanacho joined Middlesbrough on a six-month loan, with a clause included to keep him permanently at Riverside if they gained promotion to the English top-flight.

The club decided against keeping Kelechi Iheanacho, and after winning the Unity Cup with Nigeria at the Gtech Community Stadium last month, the former Manchester City striker has finally spoken up about his future.
“I'm really excited to be here. It's a wonderful place. It was good to go out and to feel football in a different environment,” the one-time FA Cup winner said in an interview with Mundo Deportivo.
“Seville is a great club. I loved my experience there. It's a great team and I'll be happy to get back there,” he concluded.
