Transfer: Iheanacho reveals why he chose Bursaspor over Celtic

In recent news, Kelechi Iheanacho has revealed the reason behind his transfer from Celtic to Turkish second-division club Bursaspor. The Nigerian striker, who spent last season on loan at Scottish Premiership champions Celtic, played a vital role in their domestic success. Despite scoring nine goals in 24 appearances across all competitions for the Hoops, Iheanacho surprised everyone by making the move to Bursaspor.

The 30-year-old has quickly ingratiated himself in Turkey, tallying 16 goals and three assists in just 12 league appearances for his new club. When asked about his decision, Iheanacho expressed that he was not preoccupied with his future at the time. "To be fair, I don’t talk about transfers. I really try to concentrate on my football," he told Bursaspor TV, adding that the transfer negotiations were carried out in conjunction with his agents and directors.
