The injury was lingering from a previous injury that occurred at the beginning of the 2020–21 season.[13] His return proved to come later than expected, as he appeared as a substitute in a 1–1 draw to Union Berlin on 10 April 2021.[14]

Sevilla

On 17 August 2022, Nianzou signed a five-year contract with Spanish club Sevilla.[15] Two days later, Nianzou made his debut against Real Valladolid. On 11 October, he scored his first Champions League goal in a 1–1 away draw against Borussia Dortmund.[16]
