Kelechi Iheanacho's agent, Roger Wittmann has refuted wild media claims linking the Nigeria international to African giants, Al Ahly SC in the January transfer window.


Iheanacho is reportedly unhappy at Spanish club Sevilla with a number of clubs set to swoop for his signature in the ongoing transfer window.


The Manchester City academy product is open to leaving Sevilla before the window closes due to a lack of first team opportunities.


Reacting to the rumours linking Iheanacho with Al Ahly, Roger Wittmann dismissed the possibility of his client joining the 12-time African champions.


Speaking to Btolat, via Spanish sports daily AS, Wittmann said: "No one from Egypt has contacted us to talk about the player, so therefore the news that is out there is completely false."


Iheanacho was not included in Sevilla's last match against UD Almeria amid speculation surrounding his future.


The 28-year-old has a contract with Sevilla until June 30, 2026, with a club having the option to extend for the 2026-2027 season. He joined Sevilla last summer after his contract with Leicester City expired, but his time with the Andalusian club has been disappointing so far.


The Nigerian star has scored only three goals in 11 matches, all coming in the Copa del Rey, while he has yet to find the back of the net in La Liga.


Several reports indicate that Al Ahly plus teams from the United States, Greece, Turkey and England have asked about the availability of the 2013 Fifa U17 World Cup Golden Ball winner.
