Kelechi Iheanacho linked with Fenerbahce move after prolific Bursaspor start

Kelechi Iheanacho, the Nigerian-British forward at Bursaspor, has been linked with a move to Fenerbahce in the Turkish Super Lig.

The 30-year-old has scored 17 goals and provided three assists in 14 appearances for Bursaspor in the 2026-27 1.Lig season. He has started every match and has played 96% of the available minutes, contributing to 67% of his side’s goals.

Iheanacho joined Bursaspor from Celtic on 17 July 2026 on a free transfer, following a season in which he helped the Scottish club win the league and Scottish Cup. His move to Turkey came after he also spent time with Sevilla and Middlesbrough during the 2024-25 campaign.

The forward’s form has reportedly drawn attention from Fenerbahce, though the rumour does not indicate that an agreement has been reached or that negotiations are at an advanced stage. Iheanacho remains under contract with Bursaspor until 30 June 2029.

The former Manchester City and Leicester player has a market value of €2.8m, while Bursaspor currently compete in Turkey’s second tier and Fenerbahce in the top flight.
