Sunday, July 19, 2026 -Super Eagles striker, Kelechi Iheanacho, has completed a move to Bursaspor of Turkey on a free transfer.

Bursaspor announced the signing of the Nigerian international forward on Friday via a video posted on its official X account

Welcoming the Nigerian international, the club said: “Our club has reached an agreement with Nigerian footballer Kelechi Iheanacho as part of its squad planning efforts for the new season.

“Born on October 3, 1996, and playing as a striker, Iheanacho has worn the jerseys of Manchester City, Leicester City, Sevilla, and Celtic throughout his career, achieving the success of scoring 42 goals and providing 27 assists in 196 Premier League matches.

“We say ‘welcome’ to Kelechi Iheanacho and wish him a career filled with successes under the roof of our club.”

The 29-year-old joins Bursaspor as a free agent after playing a key role in Celtic’s outstanding 2025/26 campaign, helping the Scottish giants secure both the Scottish Premiership title and the Scottish Cup.

Before moving to Turkey, Iheanacho turned down a Celtic offer after Bursaspor presented what was understood to be a more attractive long-term project.
