Kelechi Iheanacho has joined Middlesbrough on a season-long loan from Sevilla. The Nigerian forward struggled for playing time in Spain, making only nine league appearances without scoring.

The club is currently seventh in the Championship after a recent loss to Sunderland. His international teammates have publicly supported his move. Iheanacho, who has played for Manchester City and Leicester City, is expected to strengthen Middlesbrough's attack as they aim for promotion.
