What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

”Obviously, it’s the first time having Nigerians on the team, so hopefully it will bring good luck to the team, and we’ll give our best for the football club and for the fans to help the team achieve great success this season. I think we’re happy to be here, and I know Nigerians are happy as well. So hopefully we enjoy it and it will be a good one. The important thing is the team and my teammates,” said the U17 World Cup winner after completing his free transfer and signing a two-year contract.

Iheanacho became a free agent after his contract with Leicester City expired in June. This left several clubs in major Europe jostling for his signature, but his mind was set on Sevilla, he buttressed in the interview on the official website of Sevilla on Friday.

“There were offers from many other clubs, but I had it very clear that I wanted to come here. I’m really happy coming to Sevilla. It’s been stressful the last 24 hours. But I needed to get things done quickly. I’m very excited and happy coming to this club, “said the Nigeria striker, the club’s fifth summer signing.

The former Manchester City player highlighted the role played by the club sporting director, Victor Orta, in the operation: “Victor is a great guy. He really played a big role. He’s been watching me for a long time now, and he knows the striker I am. He’s been doing a great job for the football club as well. That’s why it’s not really hard to do all this. So, yeah. So Victor is a nice human being.

“Yes, there were a lot of offers from a lot of clubs, but there was a clear identity of what they wanted me to do here and why they brought me here, football-wise, environment-wise, and everything. I had it clear that I wanted to come here. I’m going to embrace it and give it my all.”
