Iheanacho reveals the one thing that can make Bursaspor unbeatable

Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho has promised Bursaspor supporters that the Turkish second-tier club will be difficult to beat at home as he continues to enjoy an impressive start to life in Turkey, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 29-year-old has made an immediate impact since joining Bursaspor on a free transfer from Scottish champions Celtic, scoring twice and providing an assist in his opening two league appearances of the 2026/27 Turkish 1. Lig campaign.

Iheanacho's strong start has quickly made him one of the key figures in Bursaspor's promotion push, with the club targeting a return to the Turkish top flight.

Speaking about the atmosphere at the club, the Nigerian praised Bursaspor's supporters and highlighted the influence their backing could have on the team's performances at home.

“It’s fantastic to play in front of one of the biggest fan groups in Türkiye. As long as we have their support behind us, we won’t easily lose matches in Bursa,” Iheanacho said in quotes revealed by Fotomac.

The former Leicester City and Manchester City forward joined Bursaspor after leaving Celtic, where he helped the Scottish giants win the domestic double during the 2025/26 campaign.

He wasted no time settling into his new surroundings and has quickly found his rhythm in Turkey, giving a glimpse of what he can offer in their bid for promotion.

His contribution has also helped ease the pressure that naturally comes with being one of the club's most prominent new arrivals, knowing how passionate Turkish football fans can be.

Bursaspor are aiming to return to the Turkish Super Lig, and Iheanacho's goals will be crucial if they are to achieve that objective.

Super Eagles return in Iheanacho’s sights

Beyond Bursaspor's promotion ambitions, Iheanacho will also have his eyes on a return to the Super Eagles.

The one-time FA Cup winner last played for the Green and Whites in the 2025 Unity Cup victory over Jamaica, and with the AFCON 2027 qualifiers scheduled to begin in September, his form would put him on Eric Chelle's radar.

For now, the Nigerian is focused on making the most of his new chapter in Bursa, and if his opening two league appearances are anything to go by, Bursaspor may have found the goalscoring threat they need to mount a serious challenge for promotion.
