Super Eagles star Kelechi Iheanacho provides update on future at Celtic

Kelechi Iheanacho, the Nigerian striker of the Super Eagles, has given an update on his future with Celtic, the Scottish champions, as the summer transfer window approaches, according to Afrik‑Foot.

The 29‑year‑old signed a one‑year contract with the Hoops last summer after his contract with Sevilla in Spain expired. He struggled to establish himself in Spain and was subsequently loaned to Middlesbrough in the English Championship for the second half of the season.

Since moving to Scotland, Iheanacho has regained his form and has become a key player for Celtic, especially during their recent resurgence.

He again attracted attention on Wednesday night when he converted a dramatic 99th‑minute penalty to secure a 3‑2 win over Motherwell, pushing the Scottish Premiership title race into its final day.

This season, Iheanacho has earned eight points for Celtic coming off the bench and netted a decisive brace that propelled the club to the Scottish Cup final after a 6‑2 victory over St Mirren in the semifinals.

Iheanacho joined Celtic on a one‑year contract under former manager Brendan Rodgers last summer. Although he began strongly, a series of injuries during the season disrupted his rhythm and prompted speculation about his long‑term position at the club.
