Watford is reportedly keen on acquiring Sevilla forward Kelechi Iheanacho as the club looks to strengthen its attack in the upcoming winter transfer window.
Iheanacho, who made the move to Sevilla this past summer on a free transfer after departing Leicester City, has struggled to make an impact at the Spanish club.
The 28-year-old Nigerian international has yet to score or provide an assist in his nine La Liga appearances for Sevilla this season.
Despite his lack of contribution in the league, Iheanacho has found the net three times in the Copa del Rey, showing glimpses of his potential.
Spanish outlet fichajes.net has claimed that Sevilla is open to selling the striker in January, with the player’s lack of form prompting the club to consider a potential departure.
In addition to Watford, Spanish side Las Palmas is also reportedly interested in securing Iheanacho’s services.
With Watford competing in the Sky Bet Championship, the club is looking to bolster its attacking options as it aims for promotion back to the Premier League.
Iheanacho, who enjoyed success during his time at Leicester, could bring valuable experience and goalscoring ability to Watford’s frontline.
The forward’s future at Sevilla appears uncertain, and the upcoming transfer window could provide the opportunity for him to seek a fresh challenge elsewhere, with Watford emerging as a possible destination.
