Celtic have struck gold on the ‘phenomenal’ star.

Is there a real title race in Scotland this year? Rangers?

but, Brendan RodgersThe team, unbeaten, are not at the top of the table, and remain two points behind unbeaten Heart of Midlothian, following a last-gasp win in the Edinburgh derby; The top two teams meet in a huge showdown at Tynecastle on October 26.

If the Celts were to secure a fifth in a row Premier League title, which would be a 14th crown in 15 seasons, their attacking summer signings will be key – and not only Sebastian Toncetti.

Sebastian Toncetti’s start to life at Celtic

Desperately in need of attacking reinforcements, Celtic signed Tonketti from Hammarby for a £5.2m fee on deadline day.

Many believe the club overpaid for the Tunisian international, but so far he has impressed.

The winger scored his first goal for the club against Partick Thistle in the League Cup, starting all three Premier League matches as well as the Europa League since his arrival.

Thus, Tonketti is currently Rodgers’ first choice at left-back, forcing last season’s top scorer Daisen Maeda to play on the right, with a left-back position. Kieran Tierney Labeling He had “a joy to play with” after the aforementioned win over Firhill.

However, Celtic have already signed a striker on a free this summer who is estimated to have a higher transfer value.

Celtic’s prolific new striker

Ironically, by the time the transfer window closed, Celtic remained without a top striker, with Adam Idah sold to Swansea for around £7m, while the club’s fledgling attempt to sign Kasper Dolberg, who had no interest in coming, was surprisingly unsuccessful.

Thus, he had 24 hours left to secure the free agent’s signature before the UEFA team registration deadline, and the club received the sum. Kelechi Iheanachois only available to join because Sevilla have agreed to terminate his contract, having not scored any goals in La Liga for Los Nervionenses.

The table below documents the recent decline in the Nigerian’s form, which is why he has exceeded expectations so far.

As the table shows, since making his Manchester City debut a decade ago, Iheanacho has only reached double figures in terms of goals in a season twice, doing so in two successive seasons, and includes his best year ever, which remains 2020/21 during lockdown.

However, that may be about to change.

The Nigerian converted a stoppage-time penalty at Kilmarnock on his debut, and later scored against Red Star in Belgrade and in the win over Motherwell at the weekend.

Upon his arrival in Glasgow, Rodgers, who was previously his manager at Leicester City, He praised him as an “exceptional” talent. In the past while Jacek Kulig is a football talent scout He describes him as a “prolific” goalscorer.

As a result, Transfermarkt estimates that Current market value It is worth around €4.5m (£3.9m), while Tonketti’s current estimated value is just €4m (£3.4m), albeit rising.

Any Celtic striker, given that the Hoops dominate every domestic game they play, will have plenty of chances to score plenty of goals, but early indications are that snapping up Iheanacho has been a masterstroke, given that he could prove to be a bargain.
