Celtic Signs Kelechi Iheanacho on One-Year Deal
Celtic has successfully met the Europa League signing deadline by securing a one-year contract with free agent striker Kelechi Iheanacho.
The 28-year-old Nigerian international's signing follows the termination of his contract with Sevilla, which was finalized just a day prior.
This move comes in response to criticism from Celtic supporters regarding the club's failure to sign a striker on transfer deadline day.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has opted for a player he previously managed during Iheanacho's seven-year tenure at Leicester City.
Rodgers expressed his confidence in Iheanacho's abilities on the club's website, stating, "I know Kelechi very well and understand the value he can bring to the team. He is an exceptionally talented player, possessing great ability, athleticism, and a strong work ethic.
"I am certain he will enjoy his time at Celtic, and our fans will appreciate what he contributes. With his extensive experience and being in the prime of his career, he has the potential to be a significant signing for us. I am confident he will make a substantial impact on the team."
