Kelechi Iheanacho is hoping to be fully fit for the kick-off of the new La Liga season, DAILY POST reports.
Iheanacho joined Spanish club, Sevilla on a two-year contract on Wednesday.
The Nigeria international left Premier League Club, Leicester City following the expiration of his contract in June.
The forward, who has been inactive all summer, is now expected to start pre-season training with Sevilla.
The 27-year-old admitted he is not yet 100% fit.
“I have had the chance to do personal training with a coach. That helps my fitness as well. I’m not far off from where they are 100%, so I’m not far off. Hopefully, I’ll join them soon and then build the rest of my fitness with them,” he said in an interview on the official website of Sevilla.
“Hopefully, I’ll be ready to play the first game.”
Sevilla will face Las Palmas in their opening fixture of the new season.
