The president of Turkish side Bursaspor has confirmed their search for a striker in the summer transfer window ahead of the start of pre season training, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Enes Çelik confirmed the club are weighing up their options as they look to add a striker. He said: “It might happen after the Bolu training camp. We won’t rush. We said let’s think about it a little more.
“We want to meticulously find the most suitable one among the available options. The only thing left is the striker position.
“We will hand over the team to our coach when we go to the Bolu training camp, except for one striker”, he stated.
His statement has now been followed with reports that they are among the teams looking at bringing in Nigeria international striker Kelechi Iheanacho, who is a free agent following the expiration of his contract with Scottish side Celtic.
The 29-year-old Nigerian has yet to decide his next move despite attracting interest from multiple clubs across Europe and beyond, with the club missing its option to extend his deal by a further 12 months.
Turkish outlet Olay reported that Super Lig side Bursaspor has made “close contact” with Iheanacho over a potential transfer, although no agreement has been reached at this stage.
The forward has already received lucrative approaches from Turkey and South America after his availability became known, while he has also been offered to the Brazilian side Vasco da Gama
