Sevilla manager Garcia Pimienta has admitted that Kelechi Iheanacho is still struggling to find his form at the club, according to online reports
.The Nigerian striker, who joined Sevilla in the summer after building a strong reputation during his time with Manchester City and Leicester City in the Premier League, has yet to live up to expectations.
Iheanacho has not registered a goal or an assist in four league appearances for the Rojiblancos.Despite his slow start, Pimienta remains confident that Iheanacho will regain his best form soon.
“He [Iheanacho] has quality, but he joined the team a month late and was training on his own. He’s still adapting. The two weeks with the national team, where he didn’t play, didn’t help,” Pimienta told Spanish outlet Ondacero.“We need to give him confidence.
He’s a quality player, and based on what he’s achieved, it’s only a matter of time before we see him at his best. He has the talent and ability to succeed.”
