Earlier this week, Martin O’Neill confirmed that negotiations have been held with the Nigerian striker and stressed his desire to bring the situation to a conclusion as soon as possible.

Iheanacho proved to be a crucial figure during the latter part of last season, delivering a string of influential displays as Celtic completed a Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup double.

While the forward has expressed his wish to remain at the Hoops, reports suggest he has not yet reached a final decision over his future.

According to Scott Burns of the Daily Record, Iheanacho has “a number of lucrative offers on the table”.

As well as interest from the Middle East, clubs in Turkey and Major League Soccer are also believed to be monitoring the situation, with Bursaspor’s pursuit of Iheanacho having been widely reported.
