Kelechi Iheanacho walked into Bursaspor as a free agent this summer, no fanfare, no big transfer fee. Just a quiet signing that has since turned into something nobody quite saw coming, including Iheanacho himself.
The former Celtic forward has hit the ground running in Turkey, putting together a record-breaking start that has the club and its supporters paying close attention. By his own admission, the early numbers and moments have gone beyond what he personally expected when he made the move.
Now Iheanacho has his sights set on something bigger than a strong opening run. He is talking about legendary status at Bursaspor, the kind of standing that outlasts any single season. For a player arriving on a free, that kind of ambition says everything about where his head is right now.
