Nigeria international forward Kelechi Iheanacho has been told he is free to leave Scottish side Celtic when his contract runs out in the summer, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Iheanacho joined the team on a free transfer in the summer after terminating his contract with Spanish side Sevilla. He signed a one year deal with the option of another year.
However the move hasn’t worked out as planned, and the club has informed his representative that they won’t be taking the option of extending his deal for another year.
Since joining the team in the summer, Iheanacho has been plagued with injuries and fitness issues limiting his appearances to just 14 in all competitions, where he has three goals and one assist.
The 29 year old will leave the club as a free agent, and likely head to the Middle East where a couple of team made enquiries about him before he decided to join Celtic , where he was reunited with his former coach at Leicester City Brendan Rodgers.
