Why Iheanacho Chose Bursaspor’s Ambitious Project

Kelechi Iheanacho completed a free transfer to Turkish second-tier side Bursaspor on a three-year deal, despite strong interest from Celtic. The 29-year-old Nigeria international says the club’s long-term vision and goal of returning to the Super League—and eventually competing in Europe—sold him on the move. Iheanacho asked his agent to secure the switch and vows to help the Green Crocodiles achieve promotion in the 2026/27 season.
