Sevilla's sporting director, Victor Orta, has disclosed that the club will be willing to let Kelechi Iheanacho leave this January when an offer comes.

Iheanacho has been linked with a move away from the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán despite joining Sevilla just six months ago.

The 28-year-old has struggled to get game time since joining the Rojiblancos, with just nine appearances in La Liga, mostly coming off the bench.

However, the former Manchester City striker has netted three goals in two appearances in the Copa del Rey for García Pimienta's side.

Iheanacho has attracted interest from Premier League clubs, with the likes of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Ipswich Town reportedly interested in his signature.

Orta believes that the Rojiblancos will not stop the former the Super Eagles forward should any his suitors table the right offer for him.

“The market is open, and we are obliged to study all offers. Players have their feelings, and anything can happen with any name,” Orta said, as quoted by Eldesmarque.
