Olympique Marseille are actively pursuing a deal to sign Sevilla striker Kelechi Iheanacho on loan before the winter transfer window closes.

The Nigerian forward, who joined Sevilla on a free transfer last summer, has struggled to make an impact at the club and is expected to depart in search of more playing time.

Sevilla is open to letting the former Manchester City star leave, either on loan or through a permanent transfer. The LaLiga side recently bolstered their attack by signing Nigerian forward Jerome Adams from Montpellier.

Reports from France suggest that Iheanacho has multiple offers on the table but is now favoring a move to Marseille. The French club has reportedly initiated talks with Sevilla and the player's representatives to finalize the deal.

The 28-year-old is expected to make a decision on his future before the transfer window closes.
