Sevilla striker Kelechi Iheanacho has successfully completed his medical with Middlesbrough as he prepares to join the Championship side on loan until the end of the season.

According to Sky Sports News, Middlesbrough will also have the option to sign the Nigerian forward permanently at the end of the campaign.

The 28-year-old previously played for Leicester City in the Championship last season, playing a crucial role in their promotion back to the Premier League. However, since joining Sevilla, he has struggled to make an impact, failing to register a goal or assist in nine league appearances this season.

Iheanacho will now aim to help Middlesbrough in their push for promotion, with the club currently sitting seventh in the Championship table with 44 points from 29 matches.
