Sevilla manager, Garcia Pimienta conceded Kelechi Iheanacho is still struggling to hit top form at the club.
The Nigerian arrived Sevilla in the summer with big reputation having established himself as a quality striker during his time in the Premier League with Manchester City and Leicester City.
Iheanacho has however struggled to lived up to expectations, failing to record a goal or an assist in four league appearances for the Rojiblancos.
Pimienta has however backed the forward to rediscover his best form soon.
“He (Iheanacho) has quality, but he came a month late, training individually. He is adapting. The two weeks with the national team, in which he did not play, did not do him any good,” Pimienta told Spanish outlet ondacero.
“We have to give him confidence. He is a quality footballer for everything he has done and sooner rather than later we have to see him at his best. He has the capacity and quality for it.”
Iheanacho will hope to open his goal account in the Spanish top-flight when Sevilla face Athletico Bilbao at the San Mames on Sunday.
