John Hartson endorses Celtic’s pursuit of a ‘very excellent’ striker, suggesting that the club could achieve success akin to that of Kasper Schmeichel.

Since the departure of Kyogo Furuhashi, Celtic has experienced a significant influx of goals. It is somewhat ironic, as there existed a palpable sense of disappointment regarding his departure, which was further compounded by the frustration

 

 


 

expressed by the supporters when Celtic failed to acquire an additional striker during the January transfer window.But since Adam Idah has been the lone senior striker, he’s netted a brace at Villa Park, scored at Fir Park and found the back of the net again as Celtic hit Dundee for six on Wednesday night.

 

 

 

This situation places Celtic in a position where they must take action during the summer transfer window; however, the question remains: whom should they recruit? John Hartson expresses his support for Celtic to acquire Kelechi Iheanacho. Kelechi Iheanacho was associated with a potential transfer to Celtic following the departure of Kyogo; however, the transfer did not come to fruition. Instead,

 

 

 

he ultimately secured a loan arrangement with Middlesbrough from Sevilla on the deadline day of the transfer window. John Hartson believes that this is a transaction that can be reconsidered, and he represents another individual with whom Rodgers can re-establish a connection, following their collaboration at Leicester City, as he conveyed to Go Radio.

 

 

 

Indeed, this situation pertains to the short term and is subject to rapid change; however, it is noteworthy that he is responding positively to his current role as the primary figure. Nevertheless, this does not obscure the reality that Rodgers seeks additional offensive strength, and he did not receive the necessary support from the boardroom last month.

 

 

 

“The central concern in this matter pertains to Brendan’s actions regarding Kasper Schmeichel,” stated Hartson. “When one has previously collaborated with a player, one gains insight into their character, as well as their strengths and weaknesses.”

 

 

 

“Undoubtedly, I believe that Kelechi Iheanacho performed exceptionally well during his tenure at Leicester.” I believe he is among the numerous candidates that Brendan may potentially recruit.

 

 

 

I have a favourable disposition towards the young man. I perceived him to possess considerable authority. An accomplished competitor who has demonstrated proficiency in scoring goals. Perhaps that collaboration will lead to widespread engagement with the partnership between Iheanacho and Brendan.

 

 

 

I believe he is among the select individuals that Brendan will be considering.Having emerged from Manchester City as an adolescent amidst considerable anticipation, he now finds himself competing in England’s second tier.

 

 

 

Should Celtic pursue the acquisition of Iheanacho during the summer transfer window, it is noteworthy that his performance record under Rodgers is quite impressive, particularly when one considers that all of these matches were played as a Leicester City player in the English Premier League, as documented by Transfermarkt.
