Former Man Utd chief scout provides update on Wolves links to Sevilla forward Iheanacho

According to former Manchester United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown, Wolverhampton Wanderers are having second thoughts about signing Iheanacho due to concerns about his consistency and ability to make an immediate impact.

Iheanacho, who has struggled to find his footing at Sevilla, was initially identified as a potential target for Wolves as they look to strengthen their squad in the January transfer window.

 The 28-year-old striker has started just seven games for Sevilla since joining the club from Leicester City at the end of last season, and has failed to score a league goal.

Wolves, who are currently languishing in the relegation zone, are desperate to bring in players who can help them turn their season around. 

However, Brown believes that Iheanacho may not be the right fit for the club, citing his inconsistent performances and lack of impact at Sevilla.

"There have been some concerns about his performances," Brown told Football Insider. 

"He would have good spells at Leicester and then drop off – I suppose the word I'm looking for is that he was in no way consistent. He's gone abroad to Sevilla and that hasn't helped, he's not played well there."

"Wolves, in the situation they're in at the moment, need players who are going to make an immediate impact and be game-changers for them. 

"I don't see Iheanacho as that player, and even though they've been looking at him, I'm not convinced Wolves will either. They'll be weighing up a number of options and I'd expect them to go for somebody else."

Despite the doubts surrounding Iheanacho's suitability for Wolves, Brown acknowledges that the striker's availability could still work in his favor. 

"The one thing on his side, though, is availability. It's not always easy to find somebody in the January window, so if his club are willing to let him go, maybe they will act on that."

The Nigerian international joined the Spanish side as a free agent last summer, following the expiration of his contract with Leicester City who had just achieved Premier League promotion at the time.
