French Ligue 1 outfit Olympique de Marseille have become the latest club to express interest in Nigerian international Kelechi Iheanacho.

The Super Eagles striker is expected to leave Sevilla before the end of the January transfer window due to limited playing time.

The 28-year-old has managed just nine La Liga appearances since joining the Rojiblancos as a free agent in the summer.

He has also made two appearances in the Copa del Rey, scoring three times in those matches.

Sevilla are willing to allow the former Manchester City man to go on loan or on a permanent deal before the winter transfer window shuts.

Iheanacho has also attracted interest from other clubs in Europe, including Panathinaikos, Watford, Ipswich Town, and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
