After a difficult period at Sevilla, where his contract was mutually terminated, Ihenacho joined the team as a free agent in the summer and has already scored two goals and provided one assist in three games.

The 28-year-old entered the game as a second half substitute in Wednesday’s Europa League match against Serbian team Red Star Belgrade and made an immediate impression in just ten minutes.

After receiving a feed from Benjamin Nygren, Iheanacho beat the Red Star goalie by picking out the top corner. However, Marco Arnautović brought the hosts back to level after the lead lasted only nine minutes.
The Nigerian has captured the hearts of Celtic supporters in just three games, and he is relishing the relationship.

“I adore the relationships I have with my supporters everywhere I go. Therefore, I’m glad I’m connecting with them. The striker said on YouTube to the club’s media channel, “Hopefully, it will help us, help the team, and help me move forward.”
