I want to win trophies, make history – Iheanacho says as he joins Sevilla

Kelechi Iheanacho, the Super Eagles forward, has stated that his primary reason for joining Sevilla FC is to “win trophies, achieve aims, and have great success.”

Iheanacho made this remark during his unveiling by the Spanish club on Tuesday.

In July, the 27-year-old joined Sevilla as a free agent after being released by Leicester City when his contract expired in June. He signed a two-year deal with the Andalusian club.

During his unveiling, Iheanacho expressed that while scoring goals is important, his main goal is to help his new team win many trophies. “As a player, obviously scoring goals would be great, but the most important thing is to play and win as a team. The most important thing is to win trophies, achieve aims, and have great success,” he said.

The striker also mentioned that he is ready to “give everything” for Sevilla FC and embrace the new challenge of playing in the Spanish La Liga. “Like I said before, I am very happy. I am going to play like I did in England. It is a new challenge. I am ready to play in the Spanish league and I am going to give everything for Sevilla,” Iheanacho said.

“It feels good to be here. I have followed Sevilla and seen the games. I don’t feel pressure. Now I am here, and what I want is to focus on the games and on the team, continue improving every day, and make history on the pitch.”

Iheanacho is the second Nigerian to play for the club in its 134-year history, joining Chidera Ejuke, who signed with the club in June.
