What a move that will be if it materializes. A big game player , anytime , anyday
Leicester City seems to have started again with their transfer mistakes like they did in allowing star forward Ademola Lookman leave the club after his quality showing at the King Power Stadium that season.I wonder why A special player like Wilfred Ndidi is signing up a new deal with them.I really pray for Iheanacho to move to Sevilla or even to a bigger and better team.He’s got the quality as a player to thrive in a higher level and new environment.Please let’s pray for Iheanacho,he needs our support to make a great move this period especially at this stage of his career.He turns 28 later in October this year.I believe in good fortune and miracles:ie Ejuke to Sevilla and Ighalo to Manchester United.So let’s Super Eagles fan show love by praying for him now even as today is Sunday (holy).God Bless you all lovely forumites.And have a blessed day today.Let wish Super Falcons well against European Champions Spain today in the Paris Olympics games by 6pm.Many thanks

Iheanacho is never a winger and definitely no longer an attacking midfielder based on my observations of him for Leicester and the Super Eagles in recent seasons.
Either you play him as a centre forward or a support striker, simple. Others might have their opinion of Iheanacho’s optimal position on the pitch based on their own observations, but this is mine.
His pace has waned and his movements limited to a defined area of the pitch which to me limits his versatility.
A big game player? Maybe, if positioned in an area that maximises his strengths and limits his glaring weaknesses.
I remain a fan of Iheanacho and pray he moves to Spain as his technical brand will benefit from a league with moderate pace.
I am hoping he will be fit and flying for this year’s Afcon qualifiers and next February’s World Cup qualifiers. His vision, neat touches, intelligence and goal threats are undeniable. And when he is in the mood, blood will flow.
Good luck to Iheanacho in his next career venture.
Big move to the best destination. LaLiga football suits his style of play perfectly. Congratulations Senior man – Big-game-player
Well said @deo.God Bless you so much Sir for your take on world class talent that Leicester City wants to destroy for me.
