Ahead of round seven of the ongoing La Liga season, the Nigerian forward, who has featured three times for his new club, has failed to record any goals or assists so far.

The scrutiny on Iheanacho has gained more traction in recent times, especially after first-choice striker Isaac Romero suffered an ankle injury.

However, amid the growing criticism, Sevilla manager, García Pimienta, has offered advice to Iheanacho on what he needs to do to regain his form.

Sevilla coach's advice to Iheanacho

Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of the clash against Real Valladolid, the 50-year-old manager expressed confidence in the Nigerian forward's potential to succeed at the club, though he emphasised the need for Iheanacho to elevate his performance.

“Whoever plays up front tomorrow must perform well. Kelechi is a proven player. The other day, he had a tough game because he came on without warming up,” Pimienta told Sevilla's official website.

Outlining what Iheanacho needs to do to improve, the former Las Palmas manager elaborated:

“Like the rest, he needs to step up because he has the quality to succeed at Sevilla.”
