Nigeria international striker, Kelechi Iheanacho, is set for a new chapter in his career after reaching a verbal agreement to join Scottish Premiership giants, Celtic FC, following the termination of his contract with Spanish side Sevilla.
The 27-year-old forward, who only joined Sevilla earlier this year, mutually agreed to part ways with the La Liga club after a short and challenging spell that saw him struggle for consistent game time. Sources close to the negotiations confirmed that talks with Celtic have progressed smoothly, with only final paperwork and medicals left before an official announcement is made.
Iheanacho, who previously enjoyed a successful stint in the English Premier League with Leicester City, where he won the FA Cup in 2021, is expected to bring valuable experience, sharp attacking instincts, and versatility to Brendan Rodgers’ side. His potential move comes as Celtic aim to strengthen their squad ahead of a demanding season that includes their domestic title defense and a Champions League campaign.
The Nigerian star has been widely admired for his technical ability, composure in front of goal, and knack for scoring crucial goals. His arrival would bolster Celtic’s attacking options alongside the likes of Kyogo Furuhashi and Daizen Maeda.
Fans of both Celtic and the Super Eagles have taken to social media to react, with many excited about Iheanacho’s potential impact in Scotland, while others expressed surprise at his quick departure from Sevilla.
An official unveiling is expected once all formalities are completed, marking the beginning of a fresh journey for the Super Eagles striker in Glasgow.
