Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho is ready to bring his wealth of experience to help his new club Sevilla achieve great things in the new season.

Kelechi Iheanacho is still in the news for his exciting move to Sevilla, and the Nigerian forward has taken time out to reflect on his time at Manchester City, revealing that he gained massive experience under the guidance of legendary manager Pep Guardiola.

During his time at the Etihad, Iheanacho worked alongside top-class strikers like Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko, Stevan Jovetic, and Alvaro Negredo.

He played under Manuel Pellegrini, and then spent one season working with Guardiola.

"I hope that everything I learned there, I can contribute everything to this club and help it reach greater heights," he added.

Iheanacho left Leicester City at the end of his contract but will be fondly remembered for his goals and performances as the club lifted the 2021 FA Cup.
