12 Goals In 9 Games: Super Eagles Star On The Transfer Radar Of Giants

According to a report by OwnGoalNigeria on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho is reportedly on the transfer radar of several major European club giants following his impressive goalscoring form for Turkish second-division side Bursaspor.

The Nigerian forward has emerged as a potential target for prominent clubs after scoring 12 goals in his first nine league appearances this season.

According to the report, citing Turkish outlet Fotomac, Iheanacho’s prolific run has attracted the attention of several major clubs, with the former Celtic forward now said to be on the radar of potential suitors.

However, the report did not identify the interested teams or disclose whether any formal offers had been made.

His remarkable consistency has made him one of the standout performers in Turkey’s second tier, with his latest strike coming in Bursaspor’s 2-1 home defeat to Mardin 1969 Spor.

Iheanacho reached the milestone despite Bursaspor’s defeat, scoring in the 81st minute to restore parity before the visitors secured victory with a late goal.

The result was a setback for Bursaspor, but the Nigerian maintained his record of scoring in each of his first nine league matches for the club.

His prolific start has strengthened his reputation as one of the division’s most dangerous forwards.

The former Leicester City forward joined Bursaspor as a free agent in July 2026 after leaving Scottish champions Celtic.

Bursaspor head coach Mustafa Er revealed that the club faced competition from several teams, including Celtic, before securing the Nigerian’s signature.

Er also credited the club’s management for helping to complete the transfer.

Iheanacho has also carried his club form into international football, earning a recall to the Super Eagles for their friendly against Russia.

He marked his return by scoring Nigeria’s opening goal in the 3-3 draw, helping the team establish an early lead in an entertaining encounter.

The appearance represented his first invitation to the senior national team in three years.

The striker is reportedly expected to retain his place in the squad for Nigeria’s upcoming double-header against Tanzania in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in November.

His continued scoring exploits could strengthen his position in Eric Chelle’s plans as the Super Eagles prepare for their next competitive assignments.
