Celtic left late to bring Kelechi Iheanacho to a free transfer and was able to set him up to be in the careless market again for another centre forward.
Kelechi Ihenacho is excited to work with Brendan Rogers at Celtic
In a deal that sparked much debate among Celtic supporters, Kelech Iheanacho is currently in the Parkhead building and may be in the frame to make his Scottish premiership debut with Kilmarnock on Sunday.
The Nigerian forward spoke to the club’s official sources and expressed excitement that he could work again with Brendan Rogers after a successful success together in Leicester City.
He explained: “He was very important in my career, and he took care of me when I was in Leicester, showed me my talent and gave my team the opportunity to help them win the trophy.
“He’s a great manager and a great guy. He has a good personality too, so I’m happy to play for him again. I’m happy to be a Celtic player and play for this amazing club.”
Of course, Iheanacho’s failed loan spell in Middlesbrough put a cat among the pigeons considering he won the net once in 15 appearances in the Sky Bet Championship outfit.
Nevertheless, his exploitation and Fox in Manchester City’s Premier League show that he can do, despite Sevilla fans not being able to see his best before being released to complete his move to Glasgow.
With Celtic lacking mid-way options, recent developments suggest that they can once again enter the free agent market to introduce well-known strikers.
Celtic favourites signing free agent Misia Antonio
According to a Claret & Hugh report, Celtic is “favorite.” Former West Ham United striker Michail Antonio is free agent Michail Antonio after quitting his freedom to sign from London Stadium.
Jamaica International, who shares the same agent as Summer signing Jamaican Simpson Pussy, has been using the Hammers facility to maintain himself healthy over the past few months, and his Premier League record speaks for itself. He scored 68 goals and 38 assists in 268 games.
The moves of David Datro Fofana and Kasper Dorberg failed in the second half of the window, leaving Door Ajar for another impressive arrival to the Celt, but the signed person was unable to participate in the Europa League campaign.
At 35, Antonio is definitely someone in Twilight of his career, even if he can still play at a high level with the platform.
Despite interest in the deal, it would be tough if Brendan Rogers blocked Johnny Kenny and Yamada from the opportunity to insist on more minutes.
