Super Eagles striker turns down new Celtic contract to sign three-year deal in Turkey
Kelechi Iheanacho has completed a free transfer to Turkish second-tier side Bursaspor after rejecting a fresh contract offer from double-winning Scottish champions Celtic.
The 29-year-old has signed a three-year deal running to 2029, with talks between the two parties wrapped up in less than 24 hours once Bursaspor made their move.
Iheanacho helped Celtic win the Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup double last season, scoring nine goals in all competitions, but leaves Parkhead as a free agent after his contract expired on 30 June.

Personal terms already agreed with Nigerian centre-back as clubs haggle over final fee
Fulham have increased their offer for Trabzonspor defender Chibuike Nwaiwu to 28 million euros as they push to complete a deal before pre-season ends.
The Premier League club have already agreed personal terms with the 21-year-old Super Eagles centre-back on a contract until 2030, but Trabzonspor are holding out for between 30 and 35 million euros.
A deal at the top of that range would become the biggest sale in Trabzonspor’s history, and would reunite Nwaiwu with fellow Nigerians Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey at Craven Cottage.
