“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.”

Iheanacho, capped 59 times, started his senior career with Manchester City, picking up a League Cup winner’s medal during his time at the Etihad.

He then joined Leicester City, was an FA Cup winner in 2021 and helped his country to a second-place finish at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

Iheanacho moved to Sevilla last summer before spending the end of season on loan with English Championship side Middlesbrough.
