Garcia Pimenta revealed that Kelechi Iheanacho has suitors looking to snap him up.
Sevilla head coach Garcia Pimenta has confirmed the interest in Super Eagles ace Kelechi Iheanacho amid reports of a possible exit this January transfer window.
The 28-year-old joined Sevilla at the start of the season as a free agent, ending his seven-year association with the Foxes. However, his time in Andalusia has not gone swimmingly, and he is increasingly linked with an abrupt exit.

REPORT: Kelechi Iheanacho's struggles at Sevilla could see him return to England in January
Iheanacho joined Sevilla during the summer transfer window and he has failed to score or assist in nine league games.
What Pimenta said
Iheanacho joined a struggling Sevilla side highly-rated, but he has struggled to break into the team, managing only five starts this campaign and 11 appearances, in which he scored three goals.
With his game time situation not seeing any improvement ahead of the January transfer window, Pulse Sports reported that the former Manchester City man could be on his way out.

Ahead of Sevilla’s Copa Del Rey fixture against Almeria, in which Iheanacho did not make the matchday squad, Pimenta confirmed that interest from suitors and fitness issues were the reasons the Nigerian was dropped.
“Kelechi came to the first training session after the break with a small discomfort, and it is true that he has offers from other clubs,” Pimienta told reporters.
“We will see what happens and if that interest materialises. He does not have a serious injury just minor discomforts that kept him from training yesterday. He will not do so today either and will not travel for tomorrow’s game.”
