En-Nesyri, in his four and the half years scored 73 league goals in Sevilla befire Fenerbahce earlier this summer, paving the way for Iheanacho's arrival on a two-year contract.
"I don't feel the pressure," Iheanacho said at his formal presentation on Tuesday. "En-Nesyri has been a great striker, he's done a lot for the team. Now it's my turn."
