Kelechi Iheanacho Set to Sign New Two-Year Contract With Celtic

Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho is reportedly on the verge of signing a new two-year contract with Scottish Premiership champions Celtic.

The Super Eagles forward joined the Hoops on a one-year deal after arriving as a free agent, with the club holding an option to extend his stay by an additional year. Following an impressive debut season in Glasgow, Celtic are now keen to secure his services on a longer-term basis.

According to journalist George Tsarouchas, discussions between the two parties have progressed well, with a return to Parkhead now looking increasingly likely.

“Kelechi Iheanacho has turned down offers from Qatar and Turkey. He held talks with Celtic FC in order to sign a two-year contract. Returning to Celtic is the most likely scenario.”

The 28-year-old has also attracted interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League and Major League Soccer (MLS), but reports suggest he has prioritised continuing his career with the Scottish champions.
