Leeds United are reportedly monitoring the situation of Sevilla forward Kelechi Iheanacho, who is considering his options for the second half of the season.
With the January transfer window set to close on February 3, Leeds are yet to make a signing, but Iheanacho has emerged as a realistic target.
Iheanacho’s Future Uncertain
The Nigeria international has struggled to establish himself at Sevilla, making just five starts and four substitute appearances in La Liga since joining on a free transfer in the summer.
With Sevilla keen to reduce their wage bill, Iheanacho is reportedly weighing up his options, including a potential loan exit.

Leeds United’s Attacking Depth
While Leeds possess the best attacking record in the Championship, with 53 goals from 29 matches, they may still benefit from Iheanacho’s experience.
The 28-year-old has scored 42 goals and provided 25 assists in 196 Premier League appearances, which could be invaluable in Leeds’ promotion push.
Competition for Iheanacho’s Signature
Leeds face competition for Iheanacho’s signature, with clubs in France and Greece also reportedly interested.
A loan move is thought to be the most likely option, with Sevilla determined to reduce their wage bill.
Iheanacho’s alleged £3.5m-per-year deal is a significant factor in Sevilla’s desire to facilitate an exit.
