Sevilla Regret Iheanacho Signing as Newcastle Eye Nigerian Star Arokodare
Sevilla’s sporting director, Victor Orta, has openly expressed regret over the club’s signing of Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho, calling the move “unsuccessful” during Joaquin Caparros’ unveiling as new head coach.
What Went Wrong for Iheanacho?
- Signed as a backup to Youssef En-Nesyri and Isaac Romero.
- Only 1 La Liga goal in 11 appearances (mostly substitute cameos).
- 3 Copa Del Rey goals couldn’t save his Sevilla career.
- Now at Middlesbrough (Championship) seeking regular playtime.
Orta’s Blunt Assessment:
“We invested in Kelechi this season, but it didn’t work out. We’re analyzing why.”
Nigerian Fans React:
- “Sevilla didn’t even give him a proper chance!” – @EaglesFan1
- “Iheanacho needs a team that believes in him. Boro might be it.” – @NaijaFootballTalk
Newcastle United Target Nigerian Goal Machine Tolu Arokodare
In a major transfer update, Newcastle United are pushing to sign KRC Genk’s Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare after his 20-goal explosion this season.
Why Arokodare?

💪 Physical presence (6’6”) – Perfect for Premier League.
💰 Valued at €17m – Affordable for Newcastle’s budget.
Transfer Details:
- Newcastle already in talks with Genk.
