Sevilla manager Garcia Pimienta has acknowledged that Kelechi Iheanacho is facing challenges in finding his top form at the club.
The Nigerian forward arrived at Sevilla during the summer with a strong reputation, having proven himself as a quality striker during his stints with Manchester City and Leicester City in the Premier League.
However, Iheanacho has struggled to meet expectations, failing to score a goal or provide an assist in his four league appearances for the Rojiblancos.
Pimienta expressed his belief in Iheanacho’s abilities and backed the forward to regain his peak form soon. 
“He (Iheanacho) possesses quality, but he joined the team a month late and had to train individually. He is still adapting. Additionally, the two weeks with the national team, during which he did not play, did not benefit him,” Pimienta told a Spanish media outlet ondacero.
“We need to instil confidence in him. He is a skilled footballer, considering his previous performances, and it’s only a matter of time before we see him at his best. He has the potential and the quality to achieve it.”
Iheanacho will be aiming to open his goal account in La Liga when Sevilla takes on Athletic Bilbao at the San Mames stadium at 3:15 p.m. on Sunday, September 29.
