Legendary Striker Backs Iheanacho to Score More Goals for Celtic

Fola Badmus02 mins

Gary Lineker has backed Kelechi Iheanacho to score plenty of goals at Celtic. The legendary striker is confident the former Leicester forward will succeed in Glasgow as he branded the Nigerian as “one of our favourites at Leicester”. Iheanacho netted in Belgrade to earn Celtic a point against Crvena zvezda in their opening league phase match in the Europa League this season. “I’ve seen the highlights,” Lineker said recapping the match on The Rest Is Football. “One of our favourites from Leicester, Kelechi Iheanacho scored. “I think he will score a lot of goals for Celtic. “Brendan Rodgers knows him very well from when he managed him at Leicester. “He’s a very, very good finisher Kelechi, in the Scottish league he will bag lots of goals.” Iheanacho has scored twice in three outings for Celtic so far since making the move to Glasgow to reunite with Brendan Rodgers. The striker joined Celtic as a free agent after his contract with Sevilla was terminated by mutual consent on September 1. Lineker added: “He’s streaky. When he’s on it…he is a natural goalscorer, his movement, and he is a good finisher. “He was one of those that was always happy, a really good attitude.”

Iheanacho Makes Confession About Early Celtic Introduction

Kelechi Iheanacho has admitted that he was surprised to be introduced as early as he was for Celtic against Crvena zvezda on Wednesday evening. The Nigerian striker came on to replace Daizen Maeda at the interval and made an instantaneous impact, opening the scoring on 55 minutes with a fine finish into the top-right corner. Speaking to TNT Sports post-match, Iheanacho was asked whether he was surprised to have to come on at the break. “Yeah, a little bit,” he replied. “But obviously, the manager has to make the call, and I was ready to come in. “So I came in and gave my best for the team. “I’m happy to play for this great team, Celtic, and I’m happy to play my first European game with them. It was a good outing. We played a strong side and we get a point from it, so [I’m] happy.” Before he opened the scoring, the 28-year-old had a guilt-edged opportunity from close range that produced a fine stop by opposition goalkeeper Matheus. “Those kinds of chances as a striker, you felt it was in, but that was a really good save from the goalkeeper,” continued Iheanacho. “The second one, he tried as well to follow the ball, but it was in the top corner, so he couldn’t save that one. “I have obviously been in touch with the gaffer for a while, but it was a good decision by my team to come to Celtic. “As you can see, I’m enjoying being at Celtic. Hopefully, there is more to come and more goals to come.”

Celtic have confirmed the signing of free agent Kelechi Iheanacho on a one-year deal. The Hoops were scrambling for a striker as the summer transfer window closed on Monday night, with Adam Idah sealing a move to Swansea City. Fans shared their frustration at a lack of incomings at Parkhead, with Tunisian winger Sebastian Tounekti the only recruit through the door on the final day. Iheanacho, who played under Brendan Rodgers at Leicester City, negotiated his release from Sevilla on Monday and became a free agent. Celtic confirmed the 28-year-old has signed a one-year deal with the option of a further year. Rodgers told the club’s website: “I know Kelechi so well and what he can bring to the team. 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.”
