Why I chose Bursaspor over Celtic, other European teams –Iheanacho
Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho has revealed why he decided to sign the dotted lines for Turkish second-tier club, Bursaspor FC ahead of Celtic of Scotland and other interested football teams in Europe.
The former Leicester City player who opened up in an exclusive interview with Bursaspor’s official YouTube channel said that he knew nothing about the transfer to the club until his agent informed him about the opportunity.
“To be fair, I don’t talk about transfers. I really try to concentrate on my football. The transfer talks were done with the agents and directors.
“Of course, I am aware of the transfer talks. I don’t really know how they were contacted, but I was told by my agent that Bursaspor were in contact.

“He explained everything to me in detail. I was happy, and I said yes. It’s a good and interesting place, according to how he told me about it.
According to Iheanacho, the impressive history of the Turkish club made him sign for the team ahead of other illustrious teams in Europe which were interested in securing his services.
He said; “I said this is a good place to go, and they have a good history as well.
“Moving forward, we delayed a little bit, but in the end, here we are now, enjoying every moment of it.”
Iheanacho is now expected to lead the attack for his team despite an injury scare as he seeks to extend his impressive goal scoring run in the Turkish league when his team, Bursaspor face Bandirmaspor on Saturday, October 31, in a league match.
