Kelechi Iheanacho, a Nigerian striker, is on loan from Sevilla to Middlesbrough through the end of the 2024–2025 campaign. Under Michael Carrick’s leadership, he will help bolster Middlesbrough’s attack as they aim to advance to the Premier League.
Iheanacho has played for Manchester City and Leicester City in the past, giving him a wealth of English football experience. Notably, he scored 12 goals in 25 Premier League games during the 2020–21 Leicester season, which greatly aided the team’s FA Cup victory.
Iheanacho, however, saw little playing time at Sevilla, appearing in nine league games but failing to score. His transfer to Middlesbrough offers him the chance to boost his career and give the team a goal-scoring threat.

Iheanacho is expected to have a big impact at Middlesbrough because of his experience and track record. As the team strives for a return to the Premier League, his ability to score goals and create opportunities will be essential.
