Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho has completed a move to Scottish Premiership champions Celtic following the mutual termination of his contract with Sevilla. The Nigerian forward becomes the third Super Eagles player to represent Celtic after Efe Ambrose and Ibrahim Rabiu.
Although the transfer was finalized just after the official window closed, Celtic secured Iheanacho on a free deal, agreeing to a one-year contract with the option of an extension. The move reunites him with Brendan Rodgers, his former manager at Leicester City, where the pair worked together successfully in the Premier League.
Iheanacho, who previously featured for Manchester City, Leicester City, Middlesbrough, and Sevilla, brings vast experience to the Celtic attack. His arrival is expected to bolster the squad’s striking options as the club continues its domestic title defense and European campaign.
The 28-year-old’s move to Glasgow adds a new chapter to his career and further strengthens the Nigerian presence in the Scottish Premiership.
