Bursaspor head coach Mustafa Er has showered glowing praise on Super Eagles frontman Kelechi Iheanacho, admitting that the Nigerian international is delivering well beyond expectations following his blockbuster summer move to Turkey!
The 30-year-old former Manchester City and Leicester City star joined the Turkish side as a free agent and has been in staggering, unstoppable form, netting 12 goals and providing two assists in just nine league appearances.
Speaking to reporters, Coach Er revealed that Bursaspor had to beat off fierce competition from European clubs—including Scottish champions Celtic—to secure Iheanacho’s signature. He publicly praised the club’s management for working tirelessly behind the scenes to pull off the high-profile transfer.
Iheanacho’s sensational form has seen him score in nine consecutive league fixtures, contributing to over 82% of Bursaspor’s total goals this season as they push hard for promotion back to the top flight.
Coming right off a brilliant international goal for Nigeria in their 3-3 draw against Russia, “Senior Man” continues to prove why he remains one of West Africa’s most lethal instinctual finishers.
