Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho has completed a free transfer to Turkish club Bursaspor.

The club confirmed the signing on Friday through a video shared on its official X account.

Announcing the arrival of the Nigerian international, Bursaspor said the deal was part of its preparations for the new season.

“Our club has reached an agreement with Nigerian footballer Kelechi Iheanacho as part of its squad planning efforts for the new season.

“Born on October 3, 1996, and playing as a striker, Iheanacho has worn the jerseys of Manchester City, Leicester City, Sevilla and Celtic throughout his career, achieving the success of scoring 42 goals and providing 27 assists in 196 Premier League matches.

“We say ‘welcome’ to Kelechi Iheanacho and wish him a career filled with success under the roof of our club,” the statement read.

The 29-year-old joins Bursaspor as a free agent after playing an important role in Celtic’s impressive 2025/26 campaign, helping the Scottish champions win both the Scottish Premiership title and the Scottish Cup.

Before sealing his move to Turkey, Iheanacho reportedly declined an offer to remain at Celtic after Bursaspor presented what was considered a more attractive long-term project.
