Super Eagles and former Leicester City attacker Kelechi Iheanacho may be nearing the end of his stint at Sevilla…

The race to sign Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho is gathering momentum, with Beşiktaş now joined by two other unnamed Turkish clubs in making enquiries about the striker’s availability, Soccernet.ng reports.

Nigerian Journalist, Buchi Laba, indicates that all three clubs have reached out to learn the conditions for signing the Sevilla man, who is valued at around €3 million.

While no formal offers have been tabled yet, further reports suggest the 28-year-old is open to a move to the Süper Lig.

Iheanacho’s name has been heavily linked with Beşiktaş since Wilfred Ndidi’s switch to the Istanbul giants last week.

A potential deal would reunite the pair, whose on-field partnership was forged over the years at Leicester City and in the Nigerian national team setup.

As earlier reported by Soccernet.ng, Former Nigerian international Dominic Iorfa believes such a move could be the perfect career reset for the ex-Manchester City star.

“Turkey will be a nice place for him to go and show what he can do because I believe he still has a lot in him,” Iorfa told Footy-Africa. “He has not been stable for a while, and I think that in Turkey, especially with Beşiktaş, he will finally get back among the goals.”

With Ndidi already in Istanbul and several other Nigerians playing in Turkey, Iorfa is confident Iheanacho will settle quickly.

“If the move materialises, I am sure the Beşiktaş fans will love him. He is a skilful player who can score and create goals. I hope he gets the move and returns to regular first-team football again,” he added.

The situation is still not concrete, but the Super Eagles star will be aiming to revive his game with more playing time.
