Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho is making headlines in Scotland after a blistering start to life with Celtic, quickly becoming a fan favourite at Parkhead.
The former Manchester City and Leicester City forward has hit top form since joining the Scottish champions in the summer, contributing goals, assists, and a renewed attacking spark to Brendan Rodgers’ side.
Iheanacho, who has found the net consistently in both domestic and European competitions, says he is relishing the atmosphere and passion that come with playing for a club of Celtic’s stature.
“I’m really enjoying my football here,” Iheanacho told Celtic TV. “The fans are incredible, and the energy in every game pushes me to give my best. It feels like home already.”
The 28-year-old’s seamless adaptation to the Scottish Premiership has drawn praise from pundits and supporters alike, with many highlighting his sharp movement, link-up play, and clinical finishing as key assets in Celtic’s title defence.
Manager Brendan Rodgers has also lauded Iheanacho’s professionalism and leadership, noting that his Premier League experience has brought added maturity to the dressing room.
“Kelechi has been brilliant since day one,” Rodgers said. “He’s hungry, humble, and determined to make an impact. You can see how much he enjoys being here.”
With his confidence soaring and Celtic maintaining their charge on multiple fronts, Iheanacho appears to have found the perfect environment to reignite his career — and Scotland’s green-and-white faithful are certainly loving every moment of it.
