Kelechi Iheanacho leads Turkish second tier in scoring for Bursaspor
Summary

Kelechi Iheanacho has begun his tenure at Bursaspor in impressive fashion, currently topping the scoring charts in Turkey’s second tier with nine goals in seven appearances. The former Celtic striker became a free agent after his contract with Celtic expired and opted for a three-year deal in Turkey. While many Celtic supporters hoped he would stay, the club moved forward by signing Kasper Hogh and Camilo Duran for a combined £17 million. Celtic's focus now turns to utilizing its new signings effectively after a recent defeat to Rangers.
