Thursday, September 4, 2025 - Super Eagles forward, Kelechi Iheanacho has joined Celtic on a free transfer after the termination of his contract at Sevilla.
Iheanacho had been in talks to join Brendan Rodgers' side on
Monday evening following his release by Sevilla earlier that day, but they were
not completed in time to beat the clock and the 28-year-old had to wait until
11.06pm on Tuesday night for his transfer to go through.
Manager Brendan Rodgers, who previously coached Iheanacho
during his time at Leicester City, expressed delight at reuniting with the
Nigerian forward and backed him to make an instant impact at Celtic Park.
“I know Kelechi so well and what he can bring to the team.
He is such a talented player, with great ability, athleticism and work-rate.
“I am sure he will love being at Celtic and I believe our
fans will love what he brings. He has great experience and he is right in his
peak years so he can be a great signing for us. I am sure he will make a big
contribution to the team.”
