Nigeria forward Kelechi Iheanacho has grown into one of football’s knockout specialists, enjoying greater success in cup competitions than in league campaigns, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
At almost every club Iheanacho has played for, coaches have often handed him more opportunities in cup competitions than in league matches, and the Nigerian has mastered the art of making the most of those chances.
His latest success came with Celtic, where he scored in the club’s Scottish Cup final, as they secured another domestic title to cap an impressive season. The triumph added to Celtic’s remarkable history in the competition and completed another domestic double for the Scottish giants.
Iheanacho arrived at Celtic last summer as a free agent from Sevilla FC but endured an injury-hit campaign.
