Wolves are unlikely to sign Kelechi Iheanacho from Sevilla this January transfer window despite initial talks. Former scout Mick Brown believes Iheanacho's inconsistency makes him an unsuitable choice for Wolves' need for immediate impact players to avoid relegation.
Wolves are unlikely to pursue a move to sign Kelechi Iheanacho from Sevilla this month despite initial interest. According to former Manchester United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown , who remains well-connected within the football world, there are doubts about the 28-year-old's ability to perform in the Premier League .Wolves had initiated preliminary talks after Sevilla gave the green light for Iheanacho to leave on loan this month.
However, Brown explained that Wolves are seeking 'game-changers' at this stage of the season to bolster their squad and escape the relegation zone. Recent victories against Leicester and Manchester United, coupled with a draw against Tottenham after Gary O'Neil's dismissal, have given Vitor Pereira's side a fighting chance of survival despite a shaky start. Currently, they are in the relegation zone on goal difference and are actively looking to strengthen their squad to improve their chances of staying up.Iheanacho had been considered as a possible option due to his struggles at Sevilla, making just seven starts since leaving Leicester at the end of last season. The Nigerian international hasn't scored a league goal yet, with his three strikes for the Spanish club coming against lower-league opposition in the Copa del Rey.Brown, who boasts extensive experience in top-level player recruitment after over a decade at Manchester United during their most successful period, insists that Wolves will be deterred from making a move in favor of alternative options this month. 'He would have good spells at Leicester and then drop off – I suppose the word I'm looking for is that he was in no way consistent,' he stated. 'Wolves, in the situation they're in at the moment, need players who are going to make an immediate impact and be game-changers for them. I don't see Iheanacho as that player, and even though they've been looking at him, I'm not convinced Wolves will either.' However, Brown acknowledges that Iheanacho's availability could be a factor. 'The one thing on his side, though, is availability. It’s not always easy to find somebody in the January window so if his club are willing to let him go, maybe they will act on that.
