The Super Eagles forward has struggled for form and game time since joining Sevilla, and a mid-season switch might provide the spark both he and his potential new club need.
Las Palmas eye Iheanacho to bolster attack
Las Palmas, currently sitting in 14th place in LaLiga, are eager to strengthen their squad as they continue their fight to climb the league standings.
Under the guidance of Diego Martínez, the team has shown improvement, pulling themselves out of the relegation zone. However, the club’s management sees the addition of a proven striker as critical to sustaining their momentum.
Iheanacho, 27, is seen as a priority target following failed pursuits of other options, including Nigerian forward Umar Sadiq.
Reports indicate that Las Palmas have approached Sevilla with a loan proposal for the remainder of the season, and the Yellows remain optimistic that the Nigerian’s proven ability can provide a much-needed boost to their attacking lineup.
Sevilla open to offloading Iheanacho
Sevilla, on the other hand, appear open to trimming their squad and freeing up financial resources by offloading Iheanacho.
The Nigerian joined the Andalusian club on a free transfer in the summer but has failed to adapt, recording no goals in Liga and limited minutes under head coach García Pimienta.
For Iheanacho, a loan move to Las Palmas could offer a fresh opportunity to rediscover his scoring touch and rebuild his confidence.
Meanwhile, Sevilla’s willingness to negotiate and Las Palmas’ urgent need for reinforcements suggest a deal could be mutually beneficial, giving both parties a chance to meet their respective goals this season.
