Kelechi Iheanacho and Brendan Rodgers have rejoined forces at Celtic, with the former Leicester City forward transferring to Glasgow as a free agent.
After a tough season at Sevilla, his contract was terminated in Spain on deadline day, allowing him to join any club of his choice.
Celtic required a new attacker after Adam Idah was sold to Swansea on deadline day, and Rodgers has moved quickly to bring in the player who assisted him and City in their FA Cup victory in 2021.
Iheanacho has inked a one-year agreement at Celtic Park, with the club holding an option for a second year.
He’ll not only reconnect with Rodgers but also his former City captain Kasper Schmeichel, who holds the number one spot at Celtic Park.
“I know Kelechi so well and what he can bring to the team,” Rodgers said.
“He is such a talented player, with great ability, athleticism and work-rate.
“I am sure he will love being at Celtic and I believe our fans will love what he brings. He has great experience and he is right in his peak years so he can be a great signing for us. I am sure he will make a big contribution to the team.”
At Celtic, Iheanacho will have the opportunity to compete in the Europa League, with the Scottish champions dropping into Uefa’s second competition following their Champions League elimination.
After two scoreless legs, Celtic lost on penalties in their Champions League play-off against Kazakh side Kairat.
The 28-year-old Nigerian will also aim to assist Celtic in securing a fifth consecutive Scottish title. They currently lead the table on goal difference after four matches.
