Middlesbrough’s manager, Michael Carrick, is thrilled to welcome Kelechi Iheanacho to the team. The Nigerian forward has joined Boro on a six-month loan from Sevilla, marking his return to English football after previous spells with Manchester City and Leicester City.
Carrick expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We’re obviously delighted Kelechi is joining us. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to be in time for tonight but he’ll be an important player for us, have a big impact.”
He also mentioned the strength of the team’s attacking lineup and emphasized the importance of integrating Iheanacho during the upcoming training sessions.
Iheanacho had a challenging stint at Sevilla, where he made nine La Liga appearances without scoring but netted three goals in two Copa del Rey matches.
His return to England is highly anticipated, given his previous successes, including winning the Premier League with Manchester City and the FA Cup with Leicester City.

“I gave my all, with my heart leading the way. I messed up yesterday, and I’m fully responsible for it. I’m really sorry for what happened.”
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
