Nine-time French Ligue 1 Champions, Olympique De Marseille, have made a move to sign Sevilla and Super Eagles striker, Kelechi Iheanacho, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n The 28-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from Sevilla following his subpar performance since joining the Spanish side after the expiration of his contract with Leicester City.<\/p>\n Iheanacho penned a three-year deal with the seven-time UEFA Europa League winners but could be on his way out as he\u2019s been awful in front of goal. To make things worse for the former Leicester City striker, Sevilla have signed Nigerian forward, Akor Adams<\/a><\/strong>, from HSC Montpellier.<\/p>\n As per Match Afrique<\/a><\/strong>, Taiye Taiwo\u2019s former side, Olympique de Marseille, are in talks with Sevilla over a possible loan deal for Iheanacho, with Sevilla expecting the striker to leave before the winter transfer window slams shut.<\/p>\n Sevilla President, V\u00edctor Orta, also confirmed the clubs are working to resolve Iheanacho\u2019s future, making it increasingly likely he\u2019ll exit the Ram\u00f3n S\u00e1nchez Pizju\u00e1n Stadium.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is one week left, and I think there are three offers. It\u2019s a matter of the player choosing his best option for the next six months.<\/p>\n \u201cWe all expected a higher performance from him. That has nothing to do with his quality, and there is interest from other teams. I believe he wants to play more, and we\u2019ll see what happens until Monday,\u201d the 46-year-old said as previously reported by Soccernet.ng<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Marseille are currently second on the French Ligue 1 table, ten points behind league leaders, Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n While Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s side have been impressive in the league, they don\u2019t have a prolific striker, and Iheanacho could fill that void as they push up for European spots next season.<\/p>\n A move abroad is Iheanacho\u2019s best bet, but a move to France might be harder as he\u2019ll have to adapt to a new environment, the same issue he struggled with when he moved to Seville.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n![](\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-02-04T154518Z_943763395_UP1EJ2417RFKE_RTRMADP_3_SOCCER-ENGLAND-AVA-LEI-REPORT-1024x683.jpg\")
