Fenerbahce Linked With Bursaspor Striker Kelechi Iheanacho After Impressive Start to Season
Fenerbahce have been linked with a potential move for Kelechi Iheanacho after the Nigerian forward’s impressive performances for Bursaspor attracted attention from Turkey’s top flight.
The 30-year-old has enjoyed an outstanding start to the 2026-27 campaign, scoring 17 goals and providing three assists in 14 appearances in the Turkish 1.Lig.
His form has reportedly put him on Fenerbahce’s radar as the Istanbul giants consider the possibility of strengthening their attacking options.
Iheanacho Delivering Impressive Numbers at Bursaspor
Iheanacho has been a central figure for Bursaspor since arriving from Celtic on July 17, 2026, on a free transfer.
The striker has started all 14 league matches, playing 96% of the available minutes and contributing directly to 20 goals. His 17 goals and three assists account for 67% of Bursaspor’s total goal contributions during the campaign.
His performances have been particularly impressive considering his previous experience at several European clubs, including Manchester City, Leicester City, Sevilla and Celtic.
Before moving to Turkey, Iheanacho helped Celtic win both the Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup during his spell in Scotland.
Fenerbahce Interest Could Lead to Transfer Battle
Fenerbahce are reportedly monitoring the Nigerian international following his prolific start to life in Turkish football.
A move would represent a significant step up in competition, with Bursaspor currently playing in the second division while Fenerbahce compete in the Turkish Super Lig.
However, there is no indication that an agreement has been reached or that negotiations have entered an advanced stage.
Iheanacho remains under contract with Bursaspor until June 30, 2029, giving the club control over his future. His current estimated market value stands at €2.8 million.
For now, the striker remains focused on his performances with Bursaspor, although his remarkable scoring record could make him an attractive target for clubs looking to strengthen their attacking options.
