Celtic have confirmed the signing of Kelechi Iheanacho on a one-year deal. The Scottish Champions have endured a fairly torrid month on the transfer front but have signed the 28-year-old, who was released from his contract by La Liga side Sevilla last night.
Celtic sold Adam Idah in a £7m deal to Swansea but missed out on Kasper Dolberg, who was earmarked as his replacement. The Dane made a €10m switch to Ajax earlier today.
In a statement released on the Celtic website, Rodgers stated that the striker could be a great signing for the club.

“I know Kelechi so well and what he can bring to the team. He is such a talented player, with great ability, athleticism and work-rate.
“I am sure he will love being at Celtic and I believe our fans will love what he brings. He has great experience and he is right in his peak years so he can be a great signing for us. I am sure he will make a big contribution to the team.”
