Sevilla manager, Javier Pimienta was impressed with Kelechi Iheanacho’s performance in the club’s 2-1 defeat to Villarreal on Friday night.
Iheanacho made his debut for the Rojiblancos in the encounter.
The 27-year-old took the place of Isaac Romero 13 minutes from time.
The forward came close to scoring late in the game but was denied by the Villarreal goalkeeper, Diego Conde.
“Perhaps he (Iheanacho) was the one who had the most problems because he played less time, but he moved very well in that difficult moment of the match and he had a very clear chance to score and the goalkeeper was able to stop that play,” Pimienta was quoted by Futbal Fantasy.
Iheanacho’s compatriot, Chidera Ejuke also featured in the game.
