Signing Kelechi Iheanacho Was A Mistake- Sevilla Sporting Director Victor Orta
Sevilla sporting director Victor Orta believes his decision to sign Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho last summer was a mistake,
The last two years have been torrid for Iheanacho, as he has changed clubs twice. The Super Eagles star spent last season at Leicester, in their Championship-winning campaign. But he did not get minutes, as he featured in 23 games, most of which were off the bench.

His contract at the club expired at the the end of the season. And he then moved to Sevilla last summer. Unfortunately, that deal has failed to yield results.
Although he scored three goals against two clubs in the Copa Del Rey against lower league sides, he struggled to perform at the same level in La Liga, as he scored once in 11 appearances - most of which were off the bench.
Due to Iheanachos struggles at Sevilla, he had to move to English Championship club Middlesbrough.
