La Liga side UD Las Palmas has submitted an official offer to acquire Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho from Sevilla FC during the upcoming winter transfer window.
The 27-year-old forward, who joined Sevilla last July, has struggled to find consistent form in his debut season with the Andalusian club.
In 11 appearances so far, Iheanacho has scored three goals, a return that has left him on the periphery of the squad.
According to sources close to the Spanish club, Las Palmas has proposed a loan deal for the Nigerian international, who boasts 55 caps and 15 goals for his national team.
This move would see Iheanacho bolster Las Palmas’ attacking options for the remainder of the season as the team looks to secure its position in Spain’s top flight.
Iheanacho’s transfer to Sevilla last summer was met with high expectations, but he has struggled to adapt to the club’s system under head coach Diego Alonso.
A midseason loan could provide the player with much-needed game time and an opportunity to rediscover his confidence in front of goal.
For Las Palmas, the acquisition of Iheanacho would mark a strategic reinforcement of their forward line.
The team has reportedly been monitoring the former Leicester City player for months, believing that his experience and technical ability could be an asset in their campaign.
The next few weeks will likely determine the outcome of the negotiations, as Sevilla considers whether to approve the deal.
While Las Palmas is hopeful of securing the loan, other suitors could yet emerge for the Nigerian striker, potentially complicating the situation.
In the meantime, Sevilla is preparing for their upcoming La Liga clash against Real Madrid.
As one of the league’s toughest fixtures, Sevilla’s odds of victory are slim according to betting platforms, with Real Madrid heavily favored to win.
Should Iheanacho secure a move to Las Palmas, it could mark a turning point in his season, providing a fresh start and an opportunity to regain the form that made him a sought-after talent.
Las Palmas fans will undoubtedly be watching developments closely as the January window approaches.
