Kelechi Iheanacho, born on 3 October 1996 in Nigeria, is a 29-year-old striking force primarily plying his craft at Celtic. Standing at six feet tall (1.85m) and weighing a sturdy 12 stones 12 lbs (82kg), Iheanacho is an imposing figure donning the number 17 jersey.
The current market worth of the player is pegged around a neat sum of £3.32m, as stated by Transfermarkt.
In the chilly days of January 2014, Iheanacho penned a deal with Manchester City in the English Premier League. His initial days with the Cityzens were significantly impactful; logging 26 appearances and netting eight goals in league matches during his debut season (2015-16). In the following season, he marked his presence on the pitch 20 times and found the back of the net four times.
His journey with the sky-blue half of Manchester concluded in August 2017, when Iheanacho transferred to Leicester City for a hefty price tag of around £25m. The Foxes saw him making appearances varying between 20 to 30 times per season while hitting the net multiple times, with his best haul at Leicester coming in the 2020-21 season with 12 league goals. In total, spanning the seasons 2017-2024, Iheanacho had a total of 173 first team appearances for Leicester City, finding the net 30 times.
His next adventure took him to Spain with Sevilla in July 2024; however, his campaign at Spain was short-lived following a loan move to Middlesbrough in February 2025 after making only nine league appearances at Sevilla. His stint at Middlesbrough saw him making 15 appearances and scoring once. Post loan spell, Iheanacho marked his return to Sevilla, with his campaign capped off at nine appearances in the 2024-25 season.
Iheanacho's career journey brought him to Celtic in Scotland in September 2025. At Celtic he has so far made four first team appearances and already netted twice in the ongoing 2025-26 season. Aside from the Premiership, he's been involved in the League Cup with two starts, and in the Europa League, marking his progress with a goal from two starts and three appearances as a substitute.
