The 29-year-old has quickly become a key figure in the club’s push for promotion, with his goals providing a major boost to their ambitions.

His nine league goals also highlight the efficiency he has brought to the Bursaspor attack, with the Nigerian scoring in a series of important matches.

Top-two clash awaits

Bursaspor will face Batman Petrolspor next weekend in a crucial meeting between the two teams currently occupying the top positions.

The encounter will give Iheanacho another opportunity to extend his scoring run while helping Bursaspor strengthen their position at the summit.

With both clubs sitting on 16 points, the result could have major implications for the early title race.

For Iheanacho, the focus will be on maintaining his extraordinary goalscoring form as Bursaspor look to turn their strong start into a sustained challenge at the top.
